Help with 700 r4 leak, experts needed
I have read a bunch of stuff, but my new pan keeps leaking from the front pass corner. Does anyone have an idea where it could be coming from. Is there something I can try tightening while on the car.
I replaced gasket 2x and same look to the leak. Keep in mind my new bolts are 1/4 inch longer for the pan, I wonder if it may be hitting the trans before tight. Going back in later today. I finally did the dipstick tube seal from the top and still have this leak. It leaks after sitting overnight.
One other thing when I had the cover off ,not alot of oil mabey a couple of drops.THX
(I include a ref pic)

Just wanted to add the solution/problem to help someone else. 4 bolts were to long, and the front 2 are stripped. So I will heli or see if a larger bolt will fit.
It was error on my part mostly. Nice pan but I didn't realize the depths of the threads in a few places(4) on the 700 r4.

It is, I am thinking helicoil shoild work for a 12 ft lbs app, and if I have something more serious I could use time cert. Problem I didn't realize the pump cover was touching my bolts.
