for sure if the leak is between the trans and engine, its that damn cover.
i didnt use that J tool, just smeared some grease on the crank had the new seal in the cover already and pushed in place. i used a straight edge to make sure the bottom of the cover was flush as i had my pan off, yours is still on so that should level it out for ya.
for real tho, pulling the engine might be easier then the trans to do this.
engine pull how to. http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...illBoost-Style
tranny pull how to. http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...a-transmission
if you pull the tranny keep in mind you'll need an alignment afterwards cause you removed the sub frame.
ive had to do both these jobs, engine out seems much easier to me.
