    if its lower then the valve cover then it might be a head gasket. you don't need to be mixing oil and water or losing water or even alot of oil to have blowen one. mine was blowen in the back of the block and wasn't losing any water, and just a bit of oil.

        I would check the oil pressure sender and the oil filter seals before listening to this guy. They are directly below the exhaust manifolds to the front of the block, and they tend to leak when they get older. Not saying Ben is wrong, just saying he is probably wrong.
        A 4.10 is fine. Take it from someone who knows. Buy the Mark D or the full Miller performance swap.

          I'm not sure if it makes a difference but it looks like there's a brand new Bosch oil filter on there and the leak looks its more towards the front of the engine.
          If when I take the valve cover off and the gasket is fine and I torque the head bolts more and there is still a leak. Ill look at those possibilities more.
          THANKS for the advice!

            You also might want to check out the rubber filler do dads (technical) that slip into the front of the head as well. there are actually 4 of them. Two in the front, and two in the back. BTW just b/c you torque down the 10 mm nuts doesn't mean your VC gasket won't leak.

              I think I may have purchased those with the gasket

              rocker shaft plugs?

              I know! I'm still not 100% positive its the valve cover

                        because the dye (might not even be dye) that one of the P.O.'s used didnt stick or stain at all.

                            SEM is worthless as seating area paint. It is NOT an actual "Dye", you have to use something like Leatherique for that.

                            There are a few leather paints on the market, but not one I would use as a front seat paint.

                              Yeah I think one of the previous owners used a paint. The paint is now coming of in weird ways. I am trying to take it all off and re do it.
                              I hope leatherique would stain still if it has been painted before.

                                I've been working at the paint on the drivers seat with acetone and its been working great. It isn't damaging the leather at all.

                                Do you guys know if these cheap roundels on ebay are nice
