I remember the first time I did one of these RB jobs a some years ago.... Car was on a lift...
During the removal of the pan, oil had run back into the trans bellhousing unbeknownst to me at the time.
Job went fine, buttoned it up, put it on the ground, test drove and called the customer to pick up the next afternoon.
Next morning, found a big puddle of oil on the ground, WTF! Must have fouled up the pan gasket somehow. Cursed for a little bit then went through the ENTIRE process again to R&R the oil pan gasket... Got pan off, gasket was fine, but THEN noticed some oil in the trans bellhousing that caused the puddle. (Trans was tilted back enough on lift to pool oil and solvent, which ran out once level on the ground).
After that morning's mad dash to "fix" the car before the customer arrived, I vowed to work "smarter" from then on.
