I have a 2003 Dodge Caravan 2.4L. The transmission leaked from multiple places. It was leaking from the oil pan, transmission control module, and the third place is right below the control module. I redo the pan gasket, changed the TCM gasket and there is still a small leak. There are some screws below the TCM I think to calibrate the transmission and I see oil leaking from there. Is that possible and how can I stop the leak?

 

The "module" you resealed is the solenoid pack rather than the TCM. The screws you are referring to are pressure test taps for the various clutches in the trans and can be removed and a dab of liquid teflon added before reinstalling.

 

Thank you very much for the reply. I really appreciate your time and insight. Can I use teflon tape or should I get the liquid one? Could they have come loose and just need to be tighten? They are not screwed in all the way and I thought it was that way for calibration. I thought it was calibrated by tightening or loosening the screws and that why I did not want to mess with it.

 

They are small pipe plugs, so they should seal better the more they are tightened. I only suggest the liquid Teflon as the plugs are so small. You technically shouldn't even need it, but I hate comebacks.

 

I did the teflon on the bolts, degreased and cleaned the area and ran the car. I saw where the oil was coming from and it was from the Solenoid pack where the metal meets the plastic. I sealed the crack with JB-Weld. Will see once its dried to see if the leak stopped.
