Default Looks pretty dry to me... Mine is constantly wet... although I lose no oil...
it's a very slow weep.

Default Hehe...I'm starting to get drops on my floor! Sucks..cuz
I don't want to pull the tranny. I may just pay to have it done. If I keep the car..I also may pull out the lwfw and put the stocker back in.

Default Looks familiar, I had that exact leakage. Dealer did 2 RMS R&R's and didn't fix the problem
Was actually upper oil pan gasket, but could also be cam adjusters or cam oil seals at rear of top of engine. It manages to work it's way back and down somehow. RMS is last resort, IMO. My dealer killed my PP by screwing up the reinstall of the engine/tranny after the RMS.
