So the Z will be going up on the lift next week, last year I discovered a small leak of trans fluid. while tune time had it they discovered a oil leak as well. I was told the oil was coming from the oil pan seal and not the rear main. I should have had them fix the oil leak then but 1400 to fix the trans and some other issues caused me to turn down the oil pan seal fix. oh well I guess it just never ends. the repair seems pretty straight forward. drain oil, unbolt motor mounts lift motor slightly unbolt pan, replace seal and repeat steps backwards. Am i missing anything?
