Oil Leak Troubleshooting

[mgambuzza]

Vacation week coming and I bought some parts to try addressing my oil leak on my 1930. I originally was going to replace the pan gasket, but the last time I ran it for about 10 minutes and let is sit overnight, I looked at both sides of the engine pan - drivers dry, passengers side wet. I then looked upward and saw where the oil return and valve cover a lot of seepage. I bought parts such as valve cover gasket, oil return gasket, bolts with copper washers, and a new oil return pipe (solder on original - possible former crack or leak). Never done this before on this type of car so although tight, can I remove the oil return and valve cover without removing the carburetor and intake/exhaust manifolds?


Hopefully this cares for the majority of the leaks. If not I'll have to wait for the next vacation for the oil pan. Pictures below.
