Anyone have problems with the engine losing oil through the crankshaft baffle into the torque converter housing? This model engine doesn't have a seal and uses a baffle system to keep the oil from leaking out. I've changed the PCV valve and the crankcase breather filter in the hopes that maybe crankcase backpressure was blowing the oil out with no luck. It's not overfilled with oil so I'm at a loss of what to do except pulling the engine out and disassemble for inspection. Anyone have any ideas?
