I have a oil leak i cant find. The oil is coming down the passanger side of the motor. It runs down the starter and blows all over the tranny and front driveline. I have checked dip stick,I checked and felt around the oil sending unit but i couldnt feel fresh oil. I also checked valve covers. i looked at the rear main to but i do see it coming from there. Could it be leaking between block and the heads?.it feels like oil back there i think. I found a piece of gasket sealer laying on the the bell housing.

Sounds like you lost the rear portion of the intake gasket set. It is a common failure. Couple hours work and under $20 for the gasket set & sealant.

Intake gasket? The gasket sealer came out from the intake and the block i would guess. If you have a little mirror you could possibly see if that is it.
