Had a "new" 2f installed 3 months ago in my 78/40. The engine had been sitting for like 12 years in the shop's garage. I had a bunch of work done to it before installing, decked the head, all new gaskets and seals. Been running real good since.
It's been about 600 miles and it has had a constant slow oil leak from what looks like the RMS area. I was told by the builder that the crank had some slight pitting at the RMS and that they tried to emery cloth it a bit. That emery cloth didn't work but I could handle the slow drip that it was, until yesterday...There was way more oil coming out of the inspection cover area, like a drop every inch when I was pulling into my garage. There was literally a line of oil following the vehicle. Hasn't done that before, hence this post.
Oil Pan gasket? Any tips on what I could check?
The area at end of the pan gasket looks suspect to me.
I checked the freeze plugs and the entire back of the engine and oil pan are dry except for what is shown.
