[V8] V8 leaking oil... again... and again..

[Paul Jager]

To me the likely place is the oil port coming through the heads. The dealer
did the head gaskets on this car I have and I think the owner had enough so
traded it in on the A8.

I have less leakage when:
 >  Block is warmer/summer.
 > Using a 5W15 or 0W oil, thinner being better.
 > I torqued one side, now have to do the other.

If I did the heads on this car I would goo around the oil passages with some
kind of compound.

My 92 V8 4.2 is leaking... again :(

The problem is engine oil dripping in down on the asphalt in front and on
the right side of the engine.
Engine oil is also dripping down/into the timing belt area, but very little
onto the timing belt itself.
It's also seeping down on top of the alternator.

This is what's been changed so far:

Cylinder head gaskets (bot left and right) - overhauled the cylinder heads
Intake gaskets
Cylinder head cover gaskets
All o-rings/seals/radial seals in connection with the heads, injectors,
distributors etc
Two new oil sensor (the two small ones, not the big one)

...the engine seemed to be okay for about 7-10 days, but now I'm back to
square one.
Any ideas?
