Dudes -
Got an S50 to swap into my car. :pimp: I'm going thru it as thoroughly as possible to make sure there are no surprises when its installed.
The PO had it in an E30 already (bonus!) and didn't clean anything when it was removed, which is great because I can see what was leaking. Nothing major that I can see, but the worst of the seepage seems to be from the front, here's a couple pics:
You can see I started cleaning the near side but stopped when I saw what looks like pretty consistent gunk across the front of the pan. What I can't tell is where it comes from.... seems the likely culprits are profile gasket, main seal or the front of the pan gasket.
Can anyone tell me from these pics which one of those is most likely? I'm going to be doing the pan gasket anyway, but was not planning on doing the other two. I can if its worth doing but I'd rather not (engine stand + 244ft/lb Jesus bolt = no bueno).
TIA
