Thanks Brian. I will give you a shout if I see something that I cannot figure out.

I had a similar problem with my sons a few years ago. Turned out to be oil cooler seals ... I was able to get to it without pulling the engine... take the deck lid off and pull the dog house off... Hope it is less than that.

good luck.

Well, I got out & worked on finding the oil leak problem this evening. Turns out it was the oil pressure sending unit needing tightening up. It was not an easy leak to find :x . In the process, I tightened a few nuts and bolts that were in need of some attention. I also discovered a few new problems. I have a small leak in my manifold and can see where my exhaust may need some repair or I need to find a replacement. I may be able to use some JB weld until I can take it off to braze or find a replacement.

Anyhow, I am good to go now :thumbs: .
