Greetings all-

Got a vicious oil leak in my 88 245 with 208k, AT. Here are the symptoms and what I have done:

Flame trap squeaky clean.
No leaks out of the metal plate on the back of the valve cover.
No leaks out of the camshaft cover.
No leaks out of the oil filter area.
Oil pan plug set good.

It leaks after the car has been driven and it sitting still. Hardly anything come out overnight. The oil accumulates on the passenger side bolt where the tranny meets the engine. I have cleaned the entire area to see if I can track the leak, and it seems to be accumulating on the tranny vents, barely on the back side of the oil pan, but mostly seems to be seeping from the side mentioned above. Any thoughts?

Thanks alot-

Joe HC
