[V8] Dizzy Seals

[Scott Simmons]

I picked up some Hylomar product (permatex?) that was the last tube in 
the FLAPS, stuck in the back.  Blue and gooey.  I'll think about using 
it.  I prefer not to use gasket sealers unless I have to.

Oil is dripping off the bell housing and I know it's newly wet all along 
the back of the right head because I cleaned it off when I did the dizzy 
caps and rotors a few weeks back.  If it's the RMS, I wouldn't feel 
right to pull the transmission and not do every single thing on the 
driveline and since I have no money for that, a RMS leak would continue 
to leak.  Here's hoping it's the dizzy's........
