It was the front manifold to block just above the right coolant pump to block flange..I had the surge tank removed and had a pick with a right angle tip. I could feel the edges of block and manifold and could feel the areas where the RTV was not even with the outside of the block up to the intake manifold. I cleaned the area with brake clean and applied more RTV in two seperate passes with my finger. That stopped the oil ,Next problem was the thermostat gasket. New gasket and it leaked had to take a second pass at that again but seemed to have it stopped now. Some of the thermostat gaskets available are just crap. Need to find a source for quality thermostat gaskets now. Not something I want to look for when that is all I need to get the car up and running.
