leaky bellhousing??

Guys,coud you elaborate on the fix for this a bit more? I'm putting a lakewood with block plate on my 360 magnum and would like to take care of this issue now rather than later.

What exactly should I look for? I'm mocking everything up outside the car first.

thanks,
Mike

Look right where the oil pan meets the block. My block plate rubbed this area enough to compromise the seal. I would make sure the block plate DOES NOT TOUCH THE OIL PAN!!

Sorry to be getting away from the OP's problem but as far as the engine protector plate; I opened the hole on the engine plate another inch. It doesn't seem to take away from its ability to protect the block all that much. It wont be pressing on the gasket this way.
