Nice project, how much clearance do you have between the downpipe and the ac components?

Decided to come back and try to get the truck up to abilene. I think i have my oil leak fixed. I had a leak i thought was the rear main, I now think it was the driver valve cover, leaking at the very front runing back to the rear of the motor, down and into the 80e inspection cover. But im really not sure yet, also have a new leak around the turbo drain. sigh.

Ya i think It had a drip, but nothing like it does now.

How much oil can a dipstick tube leak if not seated properly? im thinkin that may be my problem, I checked both valve covers today, The oil seems to originate near the starter area, but above the turbo drain, im thinkin it may be running down the creases of the pan, to the inspection cover, dripping right behind the oil plug. At WOT, its moving some serious *** oil tho.

It can leak out a shitload of oil through the dipstick hole. Mine shot oil and stained the whole inner fender at the track once.

well it drips at idle, right from here.... Seems to originate above the starter. Pretty frustrated with it. Any good opinions is wanted.

How many O rings are on the dipstick?


It drips by the drain hole in the inspection cover.
