Leaking Trans Pan - 07/13/12 01:05 PM
So I bought 3 of the B&M Deep cast aluminum pans for my cars. I put the 1st one on a wagon and it leaked a little, I figured I needed new O rings on the dipstick. Yes I am using the new Mopar pan gasket on all. Then I put one on my 63 Fury. When I 1st tried to put it on the holes didn't line up so I drilled the pan holes larger by 1/16". It bolted up fine then. When I filled it, fluid started leaking out of the bolt holes. It may be possible that the rigid mopar gasket won't sit flat but all the bolts went through OK.
Here are my questions;
1. Should I try filling the gasket holes and around the bolts with silicone?
2. Should I do that and sandwich a cork gasket between the pan and the gasket?
3. Should I coat the cork gasket with gasket adhesive and use just the cork gasket?
