I did change out the valve cover gasket right before I left, I'll tighten that down and see if it helps. Problem is is I looked around there when the leak happened and didn't see it leaking there (it also leaked at the exhaust area, and would have to of poured out the top back corner to have any way of making it over the bell housing.) There is a little flap plate that has two bolts on it on the bellhousing, I'll take that off and see if there is oil in there or not.

Not sure where the sending unit is, but the filter is down below near the fuel pump. Unless it shot oil several feet up and back that one can be ruled out thankfully, lol.

I'll get under there and see. Maybe this was just the push I needed to go and look for a powertrain for it, lol

 

oh man this thing is cool. can't wait to see how it turns out.
