Thanks for the info. We'll have to get the Workshop Manual. All we have now is the parts manual. As far as the gaskets go, somone told us that the form-a-gasket had been used, from your info I take it that that's a li. people will do that for some dumb reason or another. For what it's worth though, this engine has been pulled apart then. the red gasket glue is ozzeing out of several bolt holes. The Oil leak is from the pan and front cover. We've found several bolts that were loose, and a couple missing on both the cover and pan. When ever we tighten them the oil will quit dripping for a few days, then it starts again. The sending unit it tight. (and wouldn't cause oil drops on the other side of the engine.)
