[QUOTE="deadpool1, post: 440659, member: 21229"] first off there are 5 paths to leak here, rear valve cover, leaks runs down back of engine to vent slot on top of bell housing down the back of engine to bell and fools the owner. way 2 pan gasket leaks rear. way3, rtv not used as the FSM told you ,at the bearing rear cap installed. per FSM way4 seal is bad or put in wrong, (super easy) way5 crank seal journal a wreck. or the very rare, cast iron block , flaws, called porosity leaks. (or cracks) use oil dye to find the leak with "UV" flash lamp. just like we do on HVAC R134a? see the red arrow here this is VENT, or OIL capturing slot? many cars have this with M/T not just Jeeps, other cars with M/T have this so cool air can reach the hot running clutch.
