Hello, I have a problem with the oil leakage between the engine and transmission. I think it's a sealant. Which one do you recommend to buy? Any other ideas why this leak, maybe an oil pan?

After washing the engine, the first droplets began to appear on these two screws. You can see it in the picture.

What does the bottom of the pan look like? That cross member is wet on the bottom and is forward of the trans....your leak is further forward than you think...pics.

Good luck!

PEACE

I think the rush of wind has spread the oil around the oil pan, that's why it looks like this. After cleaning, the droplets evidently appeared on the two screws pointing downwards. You can see it in the picture.

Wind would push it backwards..I have a tiny front main seal leak..oil spreads back all over.

It's a common issue with our cars, its usually the rear main seal or the back of the oil pan gasket leaking. If you search, there are plenty of documented cases. I'm having the same issue now but I will be replacing rear main seal when I put in the new torque converter.

In my case, the rear gasket and the box gasket were already replaced. Maybe I thought the new rear gasket was wrong. Is it possible that the oil pan gasket is also to be replaced?

Is this oil pan gasket good? It's hard to find.
