Final Conclusion.....
Leak is gone! After power washing the underside of my engine and frame I would drive a total of 66 miles to work each day. I checked everyday and not a drop of oil. I love a nice clean dry engine.
Thus I've concluded that since I did not vent my VC's, the crankcase pressure was pushing oil out through both my rear main seals and timing cover seal, (which is new). I would blow through at least 2-quarts of oil a day, and the underside of my car was drenched in oil all the way back to the duel mufflers
! That's how bad it was.
Now I have a brand new rubber oil pan cover, new main seals and I bought new rod bearings to boot, (none of which I probably won't install for a very long time since my lower back is toast).
I'm happy to report....success! :biggrin:
