One bolt on the timing cover was loose. Tightened up, drove 50 miles and voila, nothing. I mean bone dry everywhere - for now.
After pressure washing on my back, wiping down clean enough for the Virgin Mary herself to eat off the thing, (Gunny Ermey reference), it does give one pause thinking about firing her up and making a new mess...it is very very satisfying to have a nice tight leak free toy!
