My old sled has always dripped oil. I did all the usual gasket crap:
rear main
valve covers
pan
front crank (along with new timing cover, etc when I did timing chain)
None of these "appear" to be leaking at this time (except possibly the pan because everything that low is soaked.
Anyway, I installed a TA49 2 weeks ago and the leakage has more than doubled. It's now at a rate that I must correct it. I did nothing else to the car, so my first assumption was that I "tweaked" the oil feed line such that it "opened a (or the) leak where the line meets the block/pressure switch. A quick inspection from above looks as if there is no leak there because the line and the switch are dry.
The leak is certainly on the front. I will tear off much if the front crap that blocks access/view, and clean the front, then attempt to locate the leak.
Any thoughts/suggestions/pointers/experience before I get into it this weekend? Are there other common leak locations on the front?
Thanks,
Scott
