Leaking Tranny

[gt crazy]

Got the tranny out today. Took bellhousing off and started to examine the tranny. Theres to small holes on each end on the tranny where the input shaft is. If i tip the tranny, oil comes out of those 2 holes. Is this normal?

I'm not sure what 2 holes you are referring to. With the bellhousing off, my tranny only has one hole below the input shaft. When the bellhousing is in place the oil seal mounted in it prevents leakage at the clutch input shaft.

Two holes to the left and right with leak along with the slot under the input shaft.

so do i have to fill those in or just leave them the way they are. Or just rtv the heck out of the gasket on both sides and make sure nothing is gonna leak through the front side

Use a thin coat of gasket sealer and let the gasket do the job. The biggest issue is to get the gasket to stick without it moving out of proper position during re-installation of the tranny. I like to apply the gasket sealer to the bell housing and leave the tranny dry. This way if I have to remove the tranny later, the gasket usually doesn't trear and can be reused.
