Well..... I guess if you are leaking out of the Head gasket area..... time for a swap. (head-gasket)

well....... use a crap load of rtv to hold it for now and get it to a shop..... because apparently anything we suggest to you have either been replaced.... or you are positive that there is no leak in the given suggestions. I am starting to get tired of seeing these help threads with no answers. Really is more or less a pain in the a** when using the search engine.

Agreed. clean the oil off that has already leaked. If in fact it isn't coming from inproper installation of what you have already installed trying to fix it.. It only leaves the gasket itself. Pull it back apart and check the surfaces with a straight edge. Even the cheap Haynes manuals walk you through this process. As for the unanswered threads in search, would be nice for mods to go through and delete a lot of the useless stuff. Obviously not the ones with recommendations as to what would help, but the ones that are too old and have no responses or the ttt spam ones. That would be so nice haha.
