educate a noob
if there is an oil leak on top of the engine (ie HPOP) then how does the oil get down to the bottom and leak by the vent/insp hole behind the oil pan. can some one explain it to me.

Absolutely. Like Stewart said, there is a drain in the back of the valley where any accumulation of oil will pass through, and go down exiting the dust cover hole appearing as if you have a rear main seal leak.

Where you headed to Oregon? I assume you are moving here or just a visit?

Ah you will be down in Clay's neck of the woods. He is just outside of Medford. Good luck on your move may it be uneventful and go smoothly.
