Start the motor, let it idle till warm and check.
Next start again runt at ~ 250 RPM for 3-5 minutes, check again.
Next a short road test at lower speeds.
Finally a highway run if needed.
try some uphill downhill runs if possible.
keep us posted.


Thanks for the tips.

I have cleaned the back of the block with brake clean a couple of times looking for the leak. It's not coming from the intake, valve covers, oil galley plugs or cam plug. I also do not see any oil below the rear main seal or on the sides of the rear mail retainer. They only place I see it is at the very back of the oil pan. It doesn't leak while idling only when driving. In fact, if I baby it it leaks very little, if I get on it a couple of time going around the block it leaks bad. I've taken the pan/windage tray off and the oil pain gaskets looked great when I took them off. I replaced them and reinstalled everything. Still leaks rant
