I see this thread is starting to get some views. I felt it was necessary to give another update. I got the car up in the air and got a good look from underneath. The first thing I looked at was the oilpan and surprise suprise, it was dented. So the first thing im gonna do is handle this. While I was inspecting the oil pan I noticed the last few bolts were covered up by some sort of plate bolted to the trans. Its impossible to reach the final bolts without removing the plates. What the hell are these? I also looked online for a new gasket. There are none. Not even in a gasket kit. I could use a little advise on what to do. Im also gonna try to upload a few pics of the car and engine. Thanks for the help so far guys.
