Oil leaking (running)between flywheel and engine
 
Forgot to tighten one oil line on pass head. Almost positive oil is not leaking from the valley anymore. There is only one weep hole from the valley, correct? I now have a rag shoved in it. Oil runs down under the crank, you can see it dripping off the oil pan, but only runs after you stop cranking the motor. If it were a rear main seal installed wrong wouldn't it leak all the time. This acts as if the cranking of the motor build pressure and when cranking stops the pressure of oil is released? I am stumped thinking of pulling the tranny again, but not sure I will be able to see any more do to the flywheel.

Possibly a leak coming from the turbo?

My rear seal leaks a little once I shut it down, 4-5 drops, but that's it. I cleaned, watched, and searched for a while, no leak while running thank God. I got to get it fixed once time allows.
