Oil running down the back of the engine is pretty much where it usually goes, regardless where it starts from. Clean valley and tuck paper towels under hpop and pedestal to isolate the origin. If hpop yeah, I bet that gasket needs to be replaced.

Say more about replacing oil pan gasket. Recommended way is pull engine, turn over, clean surgically, apply super special grey RTV under sanctified method and timing, smudge sage and pray.

It can take 50 miles or so to clear air out of the oil system after a big job like that.

FORScan and windows 10 don't always pay nice, as I discovered today. Can pair up but Win being stupid about passcodes. Try Android version of FORScan, works as advertised. Or Torque Pro.
