So its been awhile since I last dealt with this and so I’m still experiencing leaking occurring at I believe the back portion of the transmission pan. I had flatten the flange with a hammer and dowel. I also used a cork gasket and Permatex Form A Gasket all around. So I’ve done that all. So here comes the dumb question. Is there a thicker gasket to seal this up with much like the thicker exhaust gaskets for the header pipes you guys recommended awhile back? Those gaskets sealed up the exhaust leaks perfectly. I also recall a few bolts that might be causing potential leaks because they penetrate the oil reservoir. I also am restoring a TR6, the leak master, or some call it its rust prevention system. But they have right ups on sealing the bolt threads for some bolts that also penetrate the oil reservior as well. Just wondering about taking another swing at this.

Thanks,
Tom
