Two common areas are the cam cover gaskets, or the cam shaft gaskets on the front.

It is a huge mess under there. Only really noticed how bad it is now that the trans is off.

How hard are these to do? And should I just do both sides?

Thanks

Greg

before you put the tranny back in i would do the rear main seal and remove the plastic cover on the right side of the block and reseal that as well.
