But the big news on the oil leak is I think I have found a one piece gasket for the engine oil pan. I took a few drives today and think the gasket is what is causing my leak and since I am doing this job I want the best gasket I can get. Everyone has the 4 piece gasket set but there seems to be one I am looking for.

This one fits 1968 to 1997 models, and for the older ones with the larger bolts at the front at back you need to drill out the holes. I guess there are metal groments in all the holes.

| This guy used studs instead of bolts for his oil pan. Makes lining them up easy. |

| Make the front 2 and rear 2 holes larger for the bigger bolts. |
I did spend some time working on my right front leveler that had a bungie cord holding it up. Seems like the welds broke so I put some grade 5 bolts in. It took me awhile to drill the 1/2" holes but it's done.
