Dan, sorry, I seem to have hijacked your thread...

I know you think it's leaking
oil, but it's really "misting
oil." There's a difference. The Right Stuff is a great product. But for a little teensy weensy hairline or super small pin-hole back there you want something that will seep in to the gap and that you can "squish" in to the crevice with your finger. Give Ultra-Grey a try. You've got nothing to lose. And make sure it's not coming out from the valve cover gaskets and trailing back there and fooling you. Take a white dinner napkin and run it along the bottom of the valve covers, especially the back of the passenger side. If you see
any oil stain from doing that then you have to deal with that first. What looks to be a small leak, using the dinner napkin test, can often times be the majority of the problem.
