Sounds like you may be referring to the rear main seal . gotta drop the tranny to get to it .

Well i got the FRONT CRANK SEAL and REAR OUTPUT SHAFT done already. and it seems like all over the transmission there is some visible fluid. i can't find a real leak of where its all coming from. i can't find it newhere. im not really sure what else it could be?

Did you put any sealer on the bolts that connect your flywheel to the crank. These bolts holes go completly through and will cause a leak that looks a rear main seal leak. Very common but not to commonly known. hope this helps.

I almost skipped to the bottom to reply. I was gonna suggest the lower intake gasket!! That was the culprit on 2 of my old GT's. I was pulling my hair out, worrying it was the rear main...thankfully is wasn't!!
