Kent,  I've been through this once or twice too.  As someone else said, check 
the sheet metal behind the oil cooler on number 2 cylinder.  I always press 
the cooler in place with my hand to be sure I don't feel any metal to metal 
contact at the seal end.  If I feel or hear any metal to metal contact I know the 
sheet metal is interfering with the mating of the parts.  It doesn't take 
much interference to give you a leak.
