I have a leak coming from the trans extension window. Has 2 bolts, bit of an oval shape on the passenger side of the vehicle. Fluid flows out of the bottom bolt.. I have tried creating a gasket out of fel pro, gasket maker goo, and RTV.... No dice..... any advice? Please don't say cardboard lmao...….

I want to do the PCV conversion, but lack the funds for a new valley pan. I would like to either clean out or replace this oil breather hose I have heard so much about. I have leaks coming from everything and what looks like a rear main seal. I still have blue on the engine and the previous owner said it had a fairly recent rebuild 292 y block. I have read on various threads that once blocked, this breather tube can cause a ton of leaks or one massive leak on its own. Could someone take a pic. I cant find one anywhere. Maybe it's been removed?...…..

 

Lower pic: Where is the valley pan? No see um.

 

Thank you sir! You are a true badass. I'll get the filter and the hose cleaned/swapped. When this filter gets plugged up, does it really cause leaks throughout the engine? Makes sense I guess, building up of pressure through out the engine, increasing due to the lack of airflow from the escape. Was there an interval for this replacement?

There's an access point on the passenger side of the transmission extension held on by 2 bolts. I can't get it to quit leaking. Was there a gasket for this location?

Would a Thunderbird intake work on 59 yblock 292? I would like to go to a 4barrel carb, but the only aftermarket manufacturer is $550 plus shipping.

Thanks again,
