Oh nice, Sean... suck the life outta my joy, even if fleeting.

Yeah, I know I'll be getting to know this engine on a more personal note in the not so distant future. I took some picks of what looks to be leaks underneath @ the engine/tranny connection point (how'd ya like that technical jargon?), and also in front, which I imagine is at the timing cover. I also notice at some point there was some oil leakage along the bottom side of the distributors connection to the head.

You can take a look at them here.

Gotta go get some rest. Let's see how the truck does on the homeward leg of the highway travel.
