LOL, not thats funny, even if i spill a beer i get less mess than that, well im pretty fast at picking up a spilled beer.

Had the car out for a 45-50 mile drive today, ran great, checking the drips every so often..........got about 7 small ones now after 35-40 minutes, will check in the morning.

Gonna see if i can pick up a smoke machine, hopefully that will tell me where the leak is................the problem is fixing it.........lol

Have a happy fathers day for you fathers.

Glad to hear it’s doing better.
I have a few issues that need addressing besides the oil leaks, so if I pull my engine I’ll be killing 3 or 4 birds with one stone. Sad thing is it’s running better than it has since I owned it, as I’ve knocked out some projects on it this past year.
Happy Father’s Day to you too!

The problem with excessive crankcase pressure is it will find the weakest spot to escape. Seal one spot it will find another..I fought this issue with my last short block. Sometimes guys have been creative with venting..vents off the fuel pump mount if not being used or use the dipstick as a vent.
