Is it all around the underside of the tranny?

Or is it leaking from inside? Like wipe it away and see where it runs from, if it's inside you could be right and the front seal might've went.

Is the tranny making a low oil noise? I've hit a bump and had the drain bolt on the tranny get fucked up and leak, bump being more like a big *** curb.

trans isnt makin any noise as of now, there is deff. oil on the underside of the trans but also around the shield and passanger side of oilpan... dripping mostly from the shield tho, i think the pan bolts are overtorqued tho thats where ill start.

Oh yea, that might be it if your engine oil pressure isn't dropping. Leaking gaskets are the most annoying thing ever. That and warped valve covers, ---- that ----.

i deff. feel ya on that one so hard to find where they comin from, i usually spray everything down with brake clean and use shop air on it other than that the car runs beautiful and i think im addicted to boost. Its just my motor sweatin alil bit anyway, Worst comes to worst she blows up ill just buy another D lol.

well new update for anyone who cares lol... Pulled the trans could see the shitty rear main leaking past some RTV that some :1 must have used cuz they pinched the seal when installing. Decided since i have the trans out might as well get the new clutch (ACT street package) and decided to give the OBX LSD a try (after rebuilding it a bit), but everything back in and no more oil leak ... for now. Ill post my pics up when i get my computer cables back, and i should be running on another dyno, that u can do 1/4 mile runs on, on monday (we'll see how that goes).

well i ran into a new problem that i gotta figure out . ive got some kind of boost leak. It spikes up to 9 psi then drops down and hangs at 6-5, which i thought may be normal for the internal wastegate but i threw on a MBC and it spikes to 10 then holds at 9 for a bit but when i hit around 5500rpm the boost falls off back down to 6-5ish. Any suggestions as to where i should be looking imma smoke test the system then put some pressure to it if i dont see anything through the exhaust, but just wondering if this problem sounds like something in particular or if its just a normal leak. Cuz making 135 hp and 139ft lbs is really not gonna work for me, especially after seeing 170/165 on my last dyno pull Sorry bout the new long *** post but im pissed at my car again. Waiting for my dyno run to upload 1/4 mile on the dyno is cool but i hope i wont really run a 16.2 pass at the track, this pisses me off.
here u go - feel free to point and laugh

Go back to your automotive HQ (homeboy depot) and get two 1.5" caps, then get a complete valve stem from a real auto store. Drill a hole in 1 cap & put the stem in it, then put 1 cap in place of the TB, one in place of the turbo outlet. Add a bunch of air into the stem, then listen for hissing. Wet down the welds/couplers/bov to find the exact spot.

ok so made my little boost leak detector and found my Bov had a lil crack in it so i need a new one. But here is the weird problem, I got her to hold 9 psi and ran her on the dyno... made the same power as 5psi that it dropped to b4, which doesnt make much sence since the leak doesnt seem that bad. The other thing is my A/F is running real rich at full boost (10:1) and i dont know if thats just because thats as low as the Eugo goes, also verified this reading with the mustang dyno's wideband. It was not running this rich after the tune so i am kind of lost, it idles a little rich about 13.9:1 cruises lean like it should so i dont know if something is up with the tune or what.

Is it possibly because you tuned it with a boost leak and the table is retarded for higher boost?

What is the management, and if you say FMU I will punch you in the face.
