Greg I hope it is some thing small.

Been there, done that. Check your high pressure pump reservoir area for o ring leaks. Also check the large plugs at the front or rear of each head. There is a nice replacement plug with a teflon o ring instead of the rubber ring the engines were built with. And for heaven sake, stop using synthetic oil!!! Mine started leaking right after using Rotunda synthetic!!!

Another area to check is the oil to coolant heat exchanger on the lower driver's side of the engine. They are not painted and start rusting. The rust creaps under the o rings lifting them causing a leak.

Aaron,
Do you think the 465 cfm vacuum secondary Holley is a good match to the mild I-6 build?

Guys that use an edelbrock as opposed to a holley end up with a 500cfm, so I am assuming that a 465cfm holley should work quite well!
