GOOD NEWS!!

Installed the dye, but it didn't help, but the good news is that I did find the leak.

I did not install the engine, and it came from Ford with the oil dip stick installed on the passenger side in to the oil pan. I just assumed that that is where it was intended to be.

I should have paid more attention to Rich's post!

I am not sure how they sealed the oil dip stick hole on the drivers side in the block at the Factory, but that was the source of my leak! the oil was being sprayed out the open hole from the crank at higher RPMS. I just never got my head up far enough to see it, as I was concentrating on the upper part of the motor.

I lightly tapped a 1/8 steel plug in the hole for now and will change it to a brass one that can be driven flush to the block.

I sincerely want to thank everyone that responded.
Bud
