My "Late Life Crisis"!

Since you are planning to remove the trans, just pull the engine and do it right. You may get that leak to slow down some, but never completely stop with a bandaid. If it is a 1 piece pan gasket, there is WAY too much sealer on it and that will push the gasket out like that.

I think what you're looking at is actually the RTV that might have been "pushed" out due to crankcase pressure?? That was the reason I wanted to try that adjustable PCV, to see if it might lessen it?? I'll know more when I get back under there to try and move it around or just cut it off?!

It sounds so easy when you say it like that!!! And, I know, what you're saying about doing it "right", but I'm already having flashbacks about how long it's taken to get it to this point. I'm not sure I have it in me to go through all of that again!! I've pretty much agreed (with myself!!) to live with an oil leak at this point.
