Re: Oil leak
I have also just replaced the side cover gasket and swapped out the side plate from another engine and I did check it to make sure it was straight and flat. The leak is in in the same exact place as it was before I replaced the gasket and side cover. After a run on the interstate at around 65 mph when I got back home there would be oil spots on the tailgate. After I replaced the push rod cover there were very few spots on the tailgate. There is no way that much oil that I saw when refilling the crankcase could not be visible while running at 65. It only showed up pouring the five quarts back in. After changing the oil pan gasket and an 8 mile drive there are no oil drip spots under the truck 4 hours after completing the drive.
