[V8] oil leak

Don't forget to check for the return line from the heating system to the
back of the cylinder head.  There are little rubber "o" rings that age and
seep oil anytime after about 75,000 miles.  Looks for all the world like the
cylinder head gasket or the valve cover gasket is leaking.

I think when I buy my next V8, whether it is at 100,000 miles or over it, I
will have the wrench pull the engine and we will replace ALL the bloody
seals and gaskets while the engine is on a stand.  Get is over with once and
for all.
