was driving my 75 40 with the origonal 2f into town for dinner, when the oil pressure started to drop and pretty steady. i stop and check oil, its a little low but nothing major. i add some more and all looks ok maybe just a bad pressure reading. it has fluctuated in the past. go another 100 yards and man is she smokin so bad i think its on fire. i stop shut her down and open the hood to find oil all over the distibutor side from the valve cover gastket down, all over the plugs like pooling, sprayed on the fire wall all over the distrib and the starter, sprayed on top of the oil filter, hell i even see droplets on the back of the alternator. ok so i may have blown a oil line right? maybe a valve cover gasket or head gasket. no oil in coolant and no coolant in oil. never got hot. no oil in the airfilter housing. still runs and sound good. easy to turn over and no rattle or knock. but all the smoke is from the tail pipe. cant see where any oil is actually coming from. had a rusty oil pan and replaced that about a month ago. no metal flakes in pan and all bottom end was tight. new pan on and never ever saw another oil drip. whats the deal and whats the best way to narrow it down? i plan on washing all oil off and go from there. will get compression test done as soon as possible. not my daily driver so im not to concerned on the rate of repair.....just piss' me off. oh well time to get out the beer and think.
