I tried to use some tape on the threads and it seemed to not be loosing air but it still may be leaking.
Also, in part number 1 in the diagram, is that visible outside the transmission or do I have to drop the pan first?
And damn truck struck again this morning. I haven't really driven it the past couple of days but to move it around the driveway, but noticed it was shaking really bad in idle but smoothed out when I gave it gas. I do know that one of driver's engine mount is broken (it is a top priority to get fixed) so I thought that might be the issue and the fact that it is so cold. But I got the flashing check engine light. I ran the codes with a quick scanner because I was in a hurry and got codes P0300, P0304, and P0308. So misfires in cylinders 4 and 8. I will scan it with DIS when I get back. I am hoping I just have two bad coils.

You can see if the sealing sleeve is leaking just by crawling under the car - it's in the back, pass side corner of the tranny and up.
Concerning the misfires, you said you owned a few BMW's before. So do I (I still have them). I know 100% that for the inlines, when the car wasn't run for a while, and if it'sparked in a cold environment, you can get the misfires, and then the CEL lights up. Then, you turn off the engine and re-start, and the car acts like nothing ever happened. It might have something to do with engine management, and it cuts off fuel supply, then once the engine is re-started, and the cylinders are bit warmer, they don't act anymore. Weird but true. Maybe the v8's have something similar going...Never happened to my X
