Found oil leak....
Found oil leak....
I wiped everything down...I thought it possibly was the valve covers so I swapped on another set I had and went out for a drive...I drove maybe an 1/8 of a mile and sure enough the car was pouring out oil again...
I got under took a look and it was all around the oil filter area and up...so I took a rag wiped the valve cover and nothing....behind intake....and oil...fresh oil, I then took a look at the firewall and there was oil splattered and even some RTV that was used!
Back off comes the intake....I DONT want to have to do this again!!!

luckily my pressure sender thing came a bit loose-
no intake leaks
my advice-
dremel a slit into the block and a matchig one into the inake. then RTV it and it makes a "wall"
