Well, the leak has stopped. I took my wife to a Mexican restaurant last night 103 degrees outside, 15 miles round trip. When I got home both water and oil temps were at normal operating temperatures. This AM no oil on floor. I think the oil was over serviced. A new pan with a too short dipstick may be the culprit. The mechanic guessed at the amount of oil to use based on the capacity of the pan. Or may be the seal has bedded in.
