Have you tried to flush it out with some oil?? I would run quart with no plug in and see if it gets stopped at the oil plug(just shine a light in there and see if you can see it.. if that didnt work I would maybe try plugging the hole and filling it up with a few quarts and then let it drain out with the front jacked up..
Im taking shots in the dark here, I would definitely get it out though.

I'll try get some cheap oil and try that....better than dropping the pan again
.Thx.

Day 5
ALL bolted up!
Won't have made it without you guys!
Thank you ya!
Took it for a 20 mile ride, got home and there's still a tiny leak.
Is black and coming from torque converter bell housing......hoping is just the left over oil left in the bell housing from previous leak, will know in a week.
FSM says, idle oil pressure at 13 psi and >1600rpm at 37-75 psi but my idle oil pressure is at 30 psi and 45 psi with load.
Didn't take note of the pressure before RMS replacement so i can't compare.
NVM, was told "13 psi is the absolute minimum. 30 psi is good. If the rubber band was causing problems you would be seeing low pressures."
Appreciate if someone can advise if my oil pressure is fine (i'm concern about the missing rubber band).
Thx.
