Hey guys, I just had my head changed out for a nicely rebuilt one. The guy who changed it out said he had to jack the motor up a couple inches to get to a couple bolts. Now I got it home and have an oil leak (i dont believe its from the head itself). My question is where could it be coming from? what else should i look for? Could he have caused this oil leak from jacking up the motor? any imput ould be greatly appreciated.
thanks! :)

p.s. I feel I have more than 30 posts and I still cant go out of the nebie forum, oh well. haha
 
Well, starting with if you do not think it is coming from the head, Check from top to bottom or "Vise Verse". The Valve cover, Oil pressure sensor on the back side, moving to the bottom, check for oil pan leak. Most likely to find out, is Pressure wash everything and check where it starts or "Dye" the OIL and see where it is coming from is the easier way...
 
Okay, i'll get my motor real clean and see if i can tell where its coming from after i check the pressure sensor. its not the oil pan. Its coming from the drivers side dripping right off the tranny
