[V8] 93 4.2 oil leak

[Ingo Rautenberg]

You make want to define "large."  Is there a large puddle of oil on  
the ground after sitting overnight, a small puddle, a few drops, or a  
bunch of oil coating the bottom driver's side of the engine?

I'm looking for a similar leak, but would certainly not classify mine  
as "large" -- at least not yet...
