350 oil leak
This is a follow-up to a previous post on my oil leak Went to O'Rielly and bought their dye, Lowes for a black light bulb. Put the stuff in, got under the motor with it running and still could not tell where it was coming from. Dropped the pan and replaced the rear main seal along with new pan gasket. Guess what, it still leaked. So now I'm P***ed off so I pulled the engine, removed the flywheel, used my oiler to pump the dye and low and behold one of the oil galley plugs was leaking.
An old time engine machine shop that worked the block over had replaced all three plugs.
Moral of the story - don't trust anyone's work on your stuff.
That is terrible, sad to hear about him.
