actually its a whole plate that goes all the way around. its widest near the bottom where it has to cover the gap between the oil pan and the tranny.

Subject: Bellhousing cover
I had a weird oil leak months now.Oil would drip from the bottom of the bellhousing after being on the highway.All the seals ( crank, mainshaft, pushrod ) were changed during a clutch change by my mechanicso i know it could not be them. I found out the tranny was overfilled and tranny oil was leaking from the speedometer cable ( no 0ring ) and from the flange seals which were not replaced.So i decided to changed those.I replaced the leaky passenger flange seal. I noticed the tin bellhousing cover has a cutout to allow for the tranny removal, but it is open and not covered!!
I can see the flywheel!! that is how the gear oil was getting in the housing. Is it supposed to be like that? the bentley claims there is a small part that covers the opening.
