I have had leaks that I havent been able to pinpoint so I decided to drop the trans since the car was already in the air, I shimmed my lsd. I have found out that he leaks cone from the front of the trans where the bell housing meets the gear box. But I dont know if that could be the issue. Months ago I resealed the bottom pan and noticed that the leak was stilll there. The reason I dropped the tranny was because I thought the front seal might have been toast. But I don't know if is or not the oil inside the bell housing seems to be engine oil from a long time ago when my rear main seal failed. Here are some pics. And a video of the transmission shaft play. ..is this normal?

Use a good sealant such as the right stuff and let it sit up for 24 hours before you put more oil in it.

now that i recall there should be sealant between the bellhousing and the case.

on all aluminum transmissions i would use permatex anaerobic sealant.

the clutch looks fine but normally i check the depth to the pins also, if they're getting near bottom replace it.
