sorry to beat this oil leaking subject up again but i am having a serious problem with leaks now. i drive the car no problem then let it sit over night then move it out of the garage and i have about 5-10 drops of oil on the floor. when i have it on the lift oil is in one general location around the sending unit and bottom of the timing cover, no oil is on my timing belt though. also there is a plug right next to the sending unit that has a lot of oil around it as well. now there is no oil coming from my valve cover gasket it is fairly dry i also put some high heat gasket rtv on the valve cover as an added procaution. and i made sure that it was extra tight but didn over tighten it. as for the trans it is bone dry. half of oil pan gasket is wet but it doesnt look to be the problem. is there any other places that i should check or is there anything else to do to slow these leaks down a bit. should i replace gaskets on anything.
