Check your icp sensor. Back of the block on the drivers side, could be hidden by the heat shield. They are known to leak and corrode the pig tail.

It's a brand new ICP and IPR. No leaks from up top that I can find, all new gaskets. It coming from somewhere lower.

Cam position sensor and crank position sensor. Both are down low front of engine but the oil follows the pan back when they leak.

How many o-rings did you install on the oil cooler tubes that fit up into the oil cooler cover?

Did you put silicone at the hpop cover where it meets the rear cover?

Whatever came with the kit from Fomoco.

Did you put silicone at the hpop cover where it meets the rear cover?

Yes. And again... There is NO leak from up top.

Is the leak near the front or the back of the motor?

 

[JJeepyjohn]

It's dripping from the bellhousing/back plate area. I think its comin from the passenger side somewhere.
I clean the entire area and see nothing till later so its a slow leak.

Did you used a bit of rtv where the bed plate gasket and rear cover gasket meet?

 

[JJeepyjohn]

Yes..
