I have bin trying to track down an oil leak without much luck.The engine oil leaks on to the crossover pipe only when the motor runs. First I'll let you know what i have changed. Pan gasket,rear seal and balance shaft o rings.What other seal/gaskets/o rings are in the back of the motor that i should consider changing.This leak is driving me nuts.

Check the oil dipstick tube, where the tube meets the block.

Good Luck,

oil pressure sender maybe? i dunno, id been trying to track down a leak similar for a while then it finally dawned on me.

I'll check on both suggestions over the weekend and let you know. I thought the sender was in front of the engine but could be wrong.

you're right, oops. probably not that then, the oil was getting all over the place though. heh

Check the cork gasket on the back of the cam tower. Pretty common for it to leak and it will leak down the back of the engine onto your crossover.
