Once again trying to diagnose the kid's '91 244 from across the country... It recently started leaking ATF from what appears to be the transmission oil pan on the passenger side. He got a new gasket and although was unable to remove the dipstick tube, he had enough clearance to get the old gasket out and the new one in. He did note that one of the forward pan bolts on the passenger side was broken off, but supposedly that's not where the leak was. With the new gasket in place, now it leaks from 2 places on the passenger side. I'm trying to keep him out of an Aamco-type money pit!

Is there a more likely leak source on the passenger side which he just can't see easily?

Is a dented/deformed pan a likelihood? If so - what's the best way to find a replacement?

Any other ideas?

Of course he doesn't dare drive it until the leak is fixed... he knows he can burn up the trans if he runs it dry.

Thanks all, in advance...
