oil leak

I recently had my motor rebuilt in my 86 Bronco, It leaks oil after it has been shut off after a drive. It does not leak every time only a couple days a week, I have noticed that my oil pressure runs high sometimes. Any ideas on what could cause this?

Maybe when your oil pressure gets too high it blows it past the seals. Just an idear.

are you watchign oil pressure on the dash gauge or on a mechanical one? if on the stock in dash one it could be a bad sender, could also be your oil leak location. I have a mechanical gauge and i can watch the pressure go from 60psi at cold idle to about 20psi at opperating temp. When i rev i it goes back up to 60. I would recomend getting a set of real gauges and hookin them up to keep a eye on things.
