I'm in the same thought as you here. Oy vey. new shocks just went to the front of the line on the Honey-doooo list on the wife's car.

I'm glad we have Zman such that we are "shamed" into attempting good maintenance.

"High output"? Is that high pressure or High volume as HeyYou stated? There is a difference you know.

High output means high volume. It's just a different way of saying it.

Changed pan and gasket and now it leaks

I just changed out the pan and gasket (see pics of old pan which was leaking via rust) and now I have a leak at the rear seal. I followed the info in this thread including the use of RTV. I used an inch pound torque wrench. looking at my garage floor I see a drop every other day. it comes out from behind the trans cover.

I'm thinking of just tightening up the rear most pan bolts to see if it stops the leak. What do you guys think?
