Finally, I hit it lucky and found a pesky
oil leak that has plagued me for over a year. The problem followed my retrofit to a new engine. There is a hair-line crack in a weld at the bottom of my Canton
oil pan. It looked like the
oil was merely accumulating at this seam from a leak elswhere on the engine. I got the car on a lift this morning and with several sets of eyes scouring the underside of the new engine, it was discovered it was the pan all along. This is a good day!
