ok......if you remember i was leaking coolant. i resealed each head bolt one at a time and i think the coolant leak has stopped. i still have the oil leak. not valve covers....replaced those and they are dry. not intake.....removed and resealed w/ black rtv. the oil is collecting on the sides around whee the block meets the bell housing midway down (around starter on one side and clutch linkage on other. seems to make it's way down to the belly of transmission. oil pan is dry. the only thing i can think of is rear cam plug. oil seems to high up on block to be rear main.

this is really driving me nuts. my wife even more so since it is beginning to cut into time w/ her and our 5 month old. i just need to finish it up!

ideas?????
