I think you're on the right track with the cartridge plate seal. Probably pinched and is allowing the gear oil to seep by.

I would think it's just as likely the engine oil would seep into tranny with a cartridge plate seal issue. The oil level is probably about the same between the 2 when not running. I'm trying to think of where the trans oil is pressurized that could leak into the engine side. Not having much luck with that.

Have you seen the level up and/or down on engine and trans?

Is oil or tranny fluid coming out of the vent tube on the top of the valve cover?I had a oilbridge problem that allowed the two fluids to mix.Hope this helps.

I thought about the oil bridge, but that should be pushing engine oil into the tranny side by my cipherin'.
