Is there an o-ring or seal that is supposed to be there? Also, the rear oil pan bolt leaks as well... i put a plastic washer but think an o-ring would work better. What did ford use from the factory for the oil pan bolt?

There is a o-ring seal on the speedo plug that goes into the tranny there is one bolt holding a clamp. Take the bolt out and then the cable will slide out.

Yes there is a o-ring for the speedo pickup... Ford from the factory had lock washers on the the bolts.. If there's oil leaking your gasket is likely shot... Try to re-torque all the oil pan bolts..

Definitely check that o-ring. From where is it dripping? Right below the speedo sensor or below the rear seal? For the oil pan bolt, I have a thick plasitc/rubber washer.

Well there's a good coating of tranny fluid on the speedo cable so it's definatly coming from there. There aren't any other leaks other than from the oil pan bolt and the speedo cable connection at the tranny.
