Herb,
Next best place to look is to check the fitting of the expnsion pipe into
the exhaust manifold !
If this is it you can seal it with some type of high temp goo !
Somebody on the list will chip in a brand anme for you !

Subject: [F500] oil leak question
I'm confused, and could use some suggestions. I'm prepping my car for the
runoffs, and the back of the car is coated with oil. I mean it's
everywhere, and all over the carb side of the engine (494). The only place
is doesn't seem to be coming from is the oil lines. If the o-ring on the
rotary valve cover failed, wouldn't the exhaust temps be high? And the oil
level for the rotary valve doesn't appear to have changed during my last
race weekend.
All the ends of the oil lines look good, no splits or cracks, they fit
well, the clamps are tight. There are no drips two days after cleaning the
connections. It must be misting it out under pressure while the engine is
running is all I can think of. Of course I can't run the engine under load
in the garage.
Do I just change the o-ring and hope? Suggestions, anyone?
thanks
Herb
