Depending on the elevation you live at the crank case is already statically pressurized at near 14.7 psi and then you boosted that by near that same amount again.

No wonder it found the source of the leak for you! :-)

Thanks Steve, never thought about that............dont know if i wrecked anything, it was leaking anyways...............with all that oil mess, i still dont know if it came out the rms or the bottom of the oil pan..

Im thinking with the oil in the pan lower than the pan seal, could the shop vac air lift the oil that high.........

Guess bottom line this motor has to come out again, not sure i want to put the same motor back in, this has been fixed 3 times and always the same result.

Thanks for hanging in there with me guys
