I rebuilt my gen ii 3sgte over the fall. New Toyota oem gaskets, machine work, new turbo etc. assembled it with engine lube and ran Mobil conventional 10-30 for the first 1500 miles. I recently did a Mobil synthetic 10-30 oil change and oil has been leaking from I between the engine and Trans (very sizable about of oil leaks when car is running). What caused this leakage? I would think if the gasket was seated incorrectly it would leak from day one. Any input is appreciated!

Get the Timkin seal from autozone. The borg-warner or whatever brand has a lip sort of like a dust seal on it that makes it hard to hammer in. Especially on the passenger side!
