Joe98, Not sure why your gaskets would all start leaking at once. Maybe the gaskets were old and less than ideal (they're barely ideal when new) and the tranny was filled with 80/90 gear oil which was too thick to squeeze out. The thinner (less viscuous) oil you put in now makes it's way out. So it's good that you got that thick gear oil out of there but now you need new gaskets. You should have no trouble replacing them. When you pull the dipstick side cover don't lose the poppet ball spring that it retains (You'll see it). The front cover requires that you lift and support the front of the engine of course because of the motor mount and that cover must be pulled straight forward by about 1.5 inches to remove as there is a plastic oil tube that projects back into the hollow center of the input (lower chainwheel) shaft. Good luck.
