Well, I hope I solved the problem with the Timing Chain cover. But I think I have another leak of some sort in the back of the engine bay. Today as I was running the motor to get a better clue as to where the oil was comming from I notticed that there were spots on the ground not caused by the cover. Previously I thought the spots were caused by the oil tripping from the cover area, and as I was going down the road the wind would push the oil backwards causing other spots to apear.

Now today I was just letting the truck run to find the oil leaks, I wasn't driving it so there was no wind to diverge the oil backwards from the cover area. These leaks are totally separate. Nearest I could tell was that the leak is comming from a connection in the clutch line, I checked the clutch reserve and it was ALMOST dry. I put some more fluid in and hit the clutch acouple of time but nothing happend, of course the truck was not running. Does the clutch need power of some sort from the motor to do its job? It doesn't appear to be comming from anything else. It is not gas, but the whole passenger side of the: firewall, bell houseing, diff, trans has some kind of fluid on it. Anybody else have any suggestions on what to look for? or what else may be causing the problem? It doesn't appear to be comming from the valve cover or the head. Could the EGR block off pate at the back of the head carry any oil in that? I thought that it was just recirculated exhaust gas.

Thanx for the suggestions,
