340 oil leak - 03/17/15 11:45 PM
Hi all, I own a 1969 Dodge Dart with a 340 in it and the motor has a fresh rebuild on it. Probably only have 500 miles on it. I have a fairly big leak coming from the lowest point in the oil filter base plate. I've tried changing gaskets, silicones, tried putting the 90 degree adapter back on and I still have the same problem. It's about a dime size drip every 3 seconds at idle. I'm completely lost and the machinist has no idea what is wrong with it too. It's my first car and first restoration and I'd really like to have it all fix up again for the summer. Thanks in advance.
