Re: Frustrating Oil Leak
It has been so long since I made this post that I forgot what I did to solve the problem. I looked through my records and found a receipt for an oil pump drive cover from Baxter Ford Parts. Then I looked back at my engine photos and saw the culprit--a brass screw extending beyond the engine surface so that the old cover could not seal the area and was warped in the process of tightening. I filed off the extruding screw head, inserted the gasket and new cover and "presto" no more leaks (well maybe a couple of drops once in awhile). I hope my pictures come through!
