This covers the majority of the most likely engine oil leaks on the whiteblocks:

Rear main seal: B/t engine and tranny. Oil coming out of that hole is a BAD thing.

EDIT: As per Josh's request, arrows have been added biggrin.gif

EDIT #2: I will add other possible, but less likely leaks as soon as I get the chance.

I agree, bet you would love to see that in bay 13. You know it's gonna leak sooner or later, probably sooner.

The problem is cleaning off all of that stuff so you could make the repair without the fear of the new O ring not seating correctly because of all the gue.
