Re small oil drip

[Ron61]

SFFiredog,

That was one of the first places that I checked and since everything is very clean, I can't find even a film of oil anywhere around the corners or anywhere else. I ever put talcum powder which I have used to find small seeps before on both sides along the gasket and manifold and it is still as white as it was out of the can. The engine builder seems to think is is from up near the front and low down and he keeps talking about the oil cooler adapter. I do know for sure that it is ony on the drivers side as the right side has not dripped a single drip. I have twice found oil on the 4th pan bolt from the rear on the right side. But I think the wind currents put it there, so that would tend to indicate it must have came from in front of there. However I am almost temped to pull that bolt as it is the only one that ever has and oil on it and put some gasket maker on it and then put it back in. I am supposed to call my engine builder Wednesday and if he has his lift free I will drive it down there and we can get it up where we can really look, Trying to do it with it just on jack stands just doesn't give much room and especially since I have exhaust pipes, clutch linkage, and power steering ram all in that area, so trying to look when it is hot is almost impossible. If and when we locate this I will post it for the benefit of anyone else that may be looking for one.
