So far I cant complain about the power this motor gives out. Im still tracking down one of the two oil leaks found, one of which is the timing cover. The other seems to be coming from the RMS hopefully its either the oil pan gasket, or the sending unit but I dont see it there either. Im using about a half a quart of oil for a 30 mile round trip. Oil only leaks when I run the motor and is a steady drip until minutes after shut off. The symptoms are likely leaning towards it being the RMS. Lets hope not

If you just put a new gasket set in there (rebuilt it or what ever), it may just be the pan gasket. Roll under there with your sockets and snug up the bolts holding the pan on. It is common on a new engine for those to loosen up after a few miles as your gasket crushes.
