Is there a flange or gasket on side of motor between oil pan and transmission 97 dodge caravan?

You are likely referring to the flexplate or flywheel which connects to the transmission. There is no gasket or flange on the side of the engine between the oil pan and transmission.

Here's a breakdown:

* Oil Pan: This is a metal part that holds the engine oil.

* Transmission: This is the gearbox that transfers power from the engine to the wheels.

* Flexplate (or Flywheel): This is a metal disc attached to the crankshaft (inside the engine) that allows the transmission to engage. It's bolted to the transmission.

Therefore, there's no need for a gasket or flange between the oil pan and transmission.

If you're experiencing a leak in that area, it's likely a leak from the transmission itself, the oil pan gasket, or the flexplate bolts.

Please be careful when working on your vehicle and consult a mechanic if you're unsure about any repairs.
