[V8] drip drip drip drip

[Korn, Bob]

My V8 accumulates oil in this area as well, however, when you clean up
and watch for leaks, it doesn't appear to leak from this area.   I am
assuming that the leak is coming from the front of the engine and the
belly pan creates some strange air flows that allows the oil to
congregate in this area.   Have all the seals, just need to start that
timing belt job so I can replace those seals.

The V8 has developed a progressively worsening oil leak in the area of 
the engine block adapter for the oil lines to the cooler and the oil 
pressure senders.

I've replaced the oil lines with Aeroquip, put new O rings on the ends, 
replaced the oil pressure sender ($200 list, got a used one from Bruce 
for $60) and it still leaks.

Next stop is to take the lines back to Aeroquip and have them pressure 
tested, but if that doesn't work, I'd like some idea where to look next.

What are the usual suspects in this area? I can't see a darn thing down 
there, and I'd rather ask instead of poking around blindly.

Any ideas?
