Have an 05 ridgeback. It had the Martin Brothers medustas exhaust where the exhaust bracket bolts to the front of the transmission with the two tranny bolts. Removed it to put on a big radius. I believe the bolts were probably 1/4" longer but seated well. They were 1 1/2" as opposed 1 1/4". Did not think a big deal as never had an issue like that. I now have oil leaking out the transmission and pretty sure it is coming out this bolt. Pulled the bolt and it is covered with oil. Is this common or what would cause this leak. I went ahead and secured the correct 1 1/4" bolts and installed with some silicone. Letting dry now. Wondering if this is something others saw as I have not seen anything like this. No leaks at all until I pulled this bracket. Also verifying it is not coming out bottom of cover but I believe that is just the oil dripping down. Diffuclt to tell. The bolt in the bottom of the tranny in the front had oil in the hole with the bolt and covered with oil as I removed. Any advice is appreciated and thanks.
