A couple more questions re: T5

May 18, 2004 0 Replies

Ok, I think I have the oil leaks stopped from the valve cover, rear seal, oil pan, and oil sending unit! I still may have some oil leaking from one of the block freeze plugs under the intake/exhaust intake but this may be left over oil from the valve cover leak. Is this a common place to leak?



Anyway, my main goal now is a very small leak in the tranmission (T-5). There seems to be a little oil leaking from a bolt that is on the drivers side just above the, I guess it must be the wire for the reverse light? Anyway the leak is above the wire, coming from a bolt that has a torx head with one of those protective pins in the middle (its like the bolt for the windshield connector bars in a TJ. Can I just buy the correct torx bit and tighten this bolt? Also, the tranny fill plug is leaking a little, so I'm thinking a little teflon tape on the threads; is this a bad idea? Thanks for the help.
