tranny out next ?
So last year I pulled the motor and put a new pan on. Since then the oil has leaked from the rear lobe at the back of the pan. No oil leaks up top of engine. So I pulled the tranny and am going to put in a rear main. I also see a plate that bolts on the back of the motor and the bottom glues to the pan. I am concerned I did not glue the pan well enough in the lobe as only about 1.5 inches of the lobe has a small amount of grey rtv sticking out. How do I remove the aluminum mount on back of motor that the tranny bolts to? What seals the plate? Oring? Gasket?Are my thoughts possible with the motor in. I can post pics later if needed.
Thanks!

I'm glad you were able to figure it out. Had I seen this post yesterday I would have offered my advice on how I removed mine last year.
If you do in fact replace the rear main seal use only OEM. I bought a $20 RMS from the Irish guys and a $70 RMS from the stealership for comparison. Significant difference in quality for the OEM over aftermarket. Good luck.
