[V8] drip drip drip drip

[Jeff Goldberg]

Mike,

I posted a reply to the list, but after rereading your post I
thought I'd add that you should look from above to see the checkered
flat area on the block that I was talking about.  If there is oil
laying in this little area, the leak has to be above the side cover
and all its attachments.

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?
