lgoodson@pacbell.net Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 This leak is persiatant but so am I. I have changed the pan gasket twice and the rear main seal, the large round one, and still I have a leak with the car just sitting on jack stands. So I read in a book written by Frank Honowetz (How to modify your Nissan)that you should remove the soft plugs at either end of the block which is at the ends of the oil Gallery and replace them with threaded plugs laced with epoxy to seal them. I haven't removed the trany again yet but has any one had a problem with this soft plug at the rear leaking?. I just came from MSA where they have a block in the show room and looking at it I see a indentation above the crank hole and to the right that must be the soft plug in question. It's about a 1/2 inch in width. No body there new that it existed but I have had another person tell me that they have had one leak. MSA does not sell the replacements but I think Autozone does. They sell a bag of assorted plugs. Has anyone had the leak problem? Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
