Re: some bad news
I would get a mirror (small telescopic kind) and look at the back of the intake end seal. Some other stuff to look at while your there.
Distributor base gasket, oil sending unit / mechanical gauge tubing, valve covers, drain plug gasket, rear main area from under the truck. You should be able to see it with a flashlight to see if its wet with oil. Take the transmission inspection plate off and look at the crankshaft where the flexplate bolts up to it on the engine side. If that is dry it could be the oil pan gasket in the rear. I had a problem with my one piece oil pan gasket leaking in the front. This is because I didn't put silicone in the front of block. It is in the area where the timing chain cover and block meet. You need to have a put a ball of sealant there on both sides. As well as the rear where the rear main and oil pan meet. That is the only sealant you need with the one piece oil pan gasket from fel-pro.
