Frustrating 300E Tranny Pan Drip
OK...I was able to get my transmission dipstick resealed last time and no drip from there now. I put on a new tranny pan and gasket that I got from MB and now I still have a drip that seems to be building up in the back right (passenger) side of the pan gasket (I cleaned it all up and then waited an hour). It is seeping out between the gasket material and the bottom of the transmission near the back right bolt. This is the same area it was leaking from before but the dipstick was also leaking as well then. Is there a trick to this? It was torqued correctly and I don't want to tighten bolts anymore. Should I use any sealer? The Mercedes Benz transmission tech I found is the one who resealed it with the new pan and fixed the dipstick. He was very careful.
