Swapped the leaky pan gasket for a new leaky pan gasket
Took it for a test drive. Trans works great, shifts well. Holds gears downshifts when asked 2. All good.
Still runs at 210*+
Also my exhaust seems to be insanely hot. It's not glowing despite how the picture looks, but it sure has rainbowed... this is back about 2 feet from the rear axle. I'm really starting to think something is seriously wrong with this motor.
