CANNOT STOP Oil LEak If I don't Know Where its Coming From...PLEASE Help!!
Hi Everyone,
350 crate motor out of an old chevy blazez.
While after about a year and half I finally purchased an 84 K10, pretty straight body, little rust. I would love this truck if I could only stop the oil leak. My first mistake was taking the truck to Aamco where a $400 bill slowly grew to a $600, 700, 900...$1700 bill!! This was for them to find and stop the oil leak. Well after taking it back to them 3 times without them being able to find the leak I decided that maybe I should ask on this forum. (The guys at that shop are horrible...I noticed a squeek in my driver side front wheel...they told me I needed a new hub....To my suprise when I got home I checked and there was only 1.5 lug nuts tight! I tightened them all up and no more squeek!) Anyways, back to the oil leak issue. They replaced the real main seal, head gaskets, intake manifold gasket, oil pan gasket, transmission gasket, new pcv, and something else I cannot think of at the moment. Anyways, see pictures below. I still have oil leaking from between the flywheel area and down the passenger side of the oil pan. These pictures are after I degreased, washed, dried and drove it about 25 minutes. It looks like oil is coming down above the starter area? Is there anything that can leak from this area? I think the flywheel is spinning the oil everywhere but it looks like it is originating from the passenger side. Any ideas? I really don't want to put any more money into this motor since I currently have almost 2300 in chasing this oil leak...I could have bought a new crate motor. Any help or possible ideas is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks, Heath.
