I noticed that antifreeze is coming from the gasket between the tranny and the engine. What can i do to stop this leakage?

Hi there,

Wash down engine and pressure test the cooling system, make sure that there is nothing leaking around the rear of the head under the manifold (inlet) that may be running down and appearing to be coming from the bell housing. If all is dry and coolant is still evident, the transmission will have to be removed to investigate. There may be a core plug at the rear of the block, of this i am not 100% sure.
