[QUOTE="Shannon7, post: 456132, member: 24729"] The rear main seal plate on a 3.6 L jeep has a rubber seal all the way around the plate, except for where it connects to the oil pan and that Hass to be RTV then if they did not RTV it in, including the corners right by the block it’s going to leak . As was previous stated by others the only way to be able to tell exactly where it’s coming from is to pull the transmission back out of it and inspect it and make sure that that’s where it’s coming from. I would suspect that they didn’t RTV silicone it, where it meets the oil pan because they thought that it just to sealed itself but it doesn’t. I have seen both cases in my shop in the last six months as well as oil and Copland leaks from oil filter housing [/QUOTE]
