First, I cleaned the engine real good. Then, I got a oil tracer/UV light as suggested earier to find a leak, and it looks like most is coming from the oil pan gasket. This is the 3rd gasket I have installed in one year!! Oil is dripping off various pan bolts, and I am pretty sure the gasket isn't sealing since I can see oil leaking down the pan between several bolts and the pan. Even used permatex on the pan (not the engine side) last time, but still! There's a breather tube on the right side. Could oil be coming from that? I have removed the distributer and can see oil leaking down the side of the engine from the pushrod chamber access plate on the right side of the engine, which is attached to the breather tube. The gasket must be bad, so I will replace that gasket but am not sure if oil should be behind that plate. Is oil being forced out the breather because oil is building up behind the access plate? I'm losing about one quart per 2 hours. This is making me real grumpy. Anybody have any hints on what I am missing or what I can do to fix this leak?
