Well, I went to Checkers and bought Felpro gaskets (20 mile round trip) and by the time I got home the oil and water temps had reached normal temps of 65-70 degrees. I put it on the Quik Lift and a couple hours later looked under the car. The oil spot was the size of a quarter. (can live with that) I figured that maybe the mechanic was right and it was oil residue in the bellhousing working it's way out from a previous faulty rear main. I checked again an hour later and no change in the size. After the baseball game I went out and found the size had increased to half the size of a dollar bill. Crap. Look's like I'll replace the intake gasket but I really have my doubts that it will change anything. Using a Q-tip I found no wetness behind the intake manifold.
