| So i've had this 73 for about 10,000 miles, been excellent on the oil changes, timing adjustments, valve adjustments etc. Recently, it has begun leaking about a dollar bill sized amount of oil from the driver side area, and judging from what ive seen, it looks like its coming from the valve cover area. heater boxes are oiled up real nice :lol: , exhaust has got some oil on it too. I just replaced my valve gaskets, but its still leaking and smoking ALOT. any ideas where this leak might be coming from if it is not the valve covers? |

| The pushrod tube seals are the next suspects and very close to the valve covers, clean it up and see if it's coming from the engine side of the head. |

| The oil pressure switch sits on the left top of the engine. When it leaks the oil runs down the left side and looks like it might be coming from either the oil cooler or the pushrod tubes. |
