Going smoke less.

The fuel problem turned out to be a blown fuse and I am thinking the oil leak is a thing of the past.
Here are some pictures of the underside of the engine after a 20 mile trip with some time on I-5.

If these pictures don't make sense to you just imagine oil burning off the exhaust pipe.  Oh the smell of burning oil.
No leaks here.




You can see the exhaust pipe where the oil put out quite the Smoke on the drive home after buying it.  Now it's all clean.
I think the oil leak was because of the oil pan gasket and some crankcase pressure.  Whatever it was causing the leaking I am very happy with the result.  And it you want to get a one piece oil pan gasket for a Ford 460 you can use the newer one on an older engine by enlarging the 4 larger bolt holes.
