no oil cooler.. oil drips from pass side of bellhousing but isnt tranny fluid.. valve covers shouldnt have oil anywhere near them after a month.. and the filter or adapter would leak under neath the filter or adapter wouldnt they?

pull your bellhousing cover. see if you can trace the oil path. when my pan started leaking I was having a heck of a time trying to find out from where. I finally found that it was leaking right through the pan. I guess it rusted through suddenly.
