Some 360 magnum questions
Update: Now that it's cooled off, I crawled under to see where the oil was. See pics. Green arrows indicate No Oil and red arrows indicate oil found here. Sorry, I wiped it up before realizing it would be good to see where it was.
1. no oil coming from 90 degree oil filter adapter, not the bolt or the main gasket on the block.
2. no oil on the curved pan rail at the rear (good sign), but definitely oil between the inspection plate and the bell housing.
3. oil all over the pan, steering linkage and drain plug (no, the drain plug was not leaking)
4. oil on the bell housing and transmission pan
5. oil near the distributor clamp, but I didn't see any around the oil pressure sending unit base, it was running down the passenger side of the engine near the bell housing from that area though, could be distributor isn't sealed properly.
6. oil on the bottom passenger side of the block where it mates the bell housing, consistent with leak seen at distributor clamp.
NOTE: the valve covers are not leaking, definitely bone dry all the way around.
So, the distributor had an o-ring seal, do these leak commonly? What about the intake gasket at the rear where the dizzy is, maybe that's leaking?
