oil leaks
just got underneath to tighten up the drain plug and check tranny fluid, i noticed there seem to be more oil leaking than before, my buddy is a ford tech and mentioned something about some o rings, i believe on the hpop, but that does not seem to be the cause the valley doesnt seem to be to awful wet, valve covers look dry... most of the oil i can see on the side of the block towards the rear right above the starter and it comes down and loooks like a rear main leak, i'll get some pictures up tonight. are there any specific things i should be looking at .

the weap hole for the valley is on that side..give your turbo and pedistal a good looksy..if it was high psi oil you would have a big mess at the front of the valley....at the turbo it would go right out the weap hole..

My copper drain plug washer leaked every time for a year. Then I went to plastic and it's been dry as a bone for almost a year. Oil can blow around from the plug to other parts of the drive train. Wipe the plug dry and see what happens.
