So, I've been chasing a leak in my transmission -- figured it was the input shaft seal, but the unit had just been rebuilt, so that would be pretty strange.
After removing the transmission and changing the seal, I aimed to test the work by tiling the transmission forward about 45* to see if anything would leak out. Sure enough, it did, through a channel that resides toward the 12 o clock position of the input shaft cover. You can see it in the product pictures here: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...e/23111228228/ (second picture).
I'm pretty confounded. It seems like this location would _always_ be prone to leaking fluid, but it also appears to be by design. What is the deal with this channel?
