The part where I give up

Get underneath the damn thing and look up. If hasn't moved at all, should be easier to see where it's coming from. And 9 days later seems weird. Sure it's not brake fluid? Trans leak? No poontang until you figure it out,

The car is 2ft in the air on blocks all i can see is the dripping from bellhousing. When i put a screwdriver between scatter shield and bell you can see how much oil is in there.

If it’s dry yank the trans and get a good look, you wont see much by looking through the clutch cable hole b/c the flywheel will block most of the back of the engine.

Is the china wall or back corners of the intake leaking oil? I would really look up there first.

All clear except small amount on valve cover gasket i believe from when we primed it with covers off. I cleaned all oil off from anything i could see. When i get back out here in 5 days I'll see if more oil appears. If so im sure I'll start a thread on why my trans won't come out

Charleston is an hour closer(one way)than Buffalo. Isn't that the general area you are moving to?

Yep, guy brought me a Dodge truck many years ago and told me the rear main was leaking so replace it. Well, I replaced it, what a PITA. Turns out it wasn't the rear main but the oil sending unit.
