finally found the oil leak!!
finally found the oil leak!! So as some of you might know I just got my car running again. I have only put 309 miles on it and I have a horrible oil leak. I finally found that it is on the back upper corner of the passenger head right by the intake manifold. What are the odds that it just isn't torque correctly? These are brand new victor reintz .026 headgaskets. As well as brand new intake manifold gaskets. I don't loose vacuum so I would assume that it isn't the intake. Any advise? Also my oil looks fine. Now mildness whatsoever.
Back of the heads are still shiny. So its not the valve covers. I put the right stuff on the intake manifold. The reason I said head was due to it being covered in oil directly below the head. But the heads are dry so I guess that wouldn't be right. Like I said no loss in oil pressure or vacuum when breaking. Just in about ten seconds I had a 3" puddle under the car. It is dripping on my collector and smoking everywhere.

Might be leaking from the "wing" of the head gasket. I always use a thin film of RTV on both sides prior to install.
The wing I refer to is the triangle shape on the ends:

I'll have to go and take another good look at it. It's deff oil not coolant. The heads are still dry and shiny but the block under it is wet and covered in oil. I will have to check the top corner of the head and intake manifold. It's coming from somewhere in that vicinity.
