ok, I found the extensive part of the oil leak. Was leaking from the valley pan directly under the intake. Pulled the cover, cleaned it up good and sealed it with the Right Stuff. Installed the cork valve cover gaskets, went for a power ride and no leaks. non, not even a drop. Cool, I'm sure happy with that cause this thing was leaving pools of oil on the cover.
You would be amazed at the amount of oil that slings off the cam and hits the bottom of the valley plate/ bathtub gasket!
Maybe the valve cover gaskets were not leaking after all but as we discussed over the phone, would be good to get them surfaced flat over the winter, put the original gaskets back on and roll with it.
Nice chatting with you Dave
