Seriously?
At this point it could be the rear diff leaking for all we know. Where is your leak? You can't post a question without providing some basic info.

Did you make sure to A) put all the new o-rings in place? B) Torque all fasteners when reassembling?
If the answer is yes....then it is possible the oil cooler lid got cracked.

Yes i did the o rings and torque to spec. i did not remove the brass fitting at the test port area. do i need to remove the plastic cap and brass fitting to replace any o rings there?
Thanks for the reply's!!!
If i did crack or bend the housing, can i reuse the new o rings and gaskets if not damaged?
