Oil leak but I don't know what the thing is called.

Peeledpeas · May 29, 2024

After getting my replacement transmission installed I noticed an oil leak coming from something near the oil filter. Held on by two 10mm bolts and to me it looks like some sort of pressure regulator or something. Can someone tell me what it is so I know what to ask for when getting a new gasket?

Oil block off plate I believe
There is a gasket and a o ring also
I believe it’s this but someone else will chime in and correct me if I’m wrong

Oh, I get it. It's for an optional oil cooler?

Yes. The block off plate has a large o ring as was posted above.

The one with the actual cooler has 2 o-rings, for the out and in lines. With that setup, the oil goes into the radiator (radiator also has 2 line fittings on the driver's side.) It was more like a towing package option, I think.

The OE blockoff plate doesn't use an o-ring. Different manufacturers offer various materials, but the gasket for the OE plate will be shaped something like this:

Stock gasket is a metal crush gasket
