Leak update

After cleaning, running, etc. It has become apparent that the leaks are from the seams of the case on the transmission. I do not see any oil coming from the engine which is reassuring. The leak location on the transmission is strange from everything I have read. However, I am 95% certain that this is where it is leaking from.

I have a few things to try on the transmission before writing it off. First, I am going to re-torque the case through bolts. Before doing that, I am also going to remove them one at a time and reapply the sealant which is supposed to be on the bolts.

The nice thing is the oil in the transmission is not under much pressure. Its simply being flung around by the spinning internal parts. This may be the transmissions saving grace.
