<VV> New Oil Leak

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

Ron, 
How about the dipstick tube? Any chance it has a small pin hole in  it? I 
guess "when" it leaks is important, too... when sitting? After being  driven?
Let me know what you find.
Lonzo...

A new  leak has sprung on my '62 wagon and just before I was going to put 
it 
in  our Cool Desert Nights weekend show!  Anyway, I haven't worked on it 
yet  
but am looking for some advice on where to start.
It appears do be on  the right side with a relatively rapid drip coming 
from 
various places on  the right lower shroud.  The oil filter area on the left 
is  dry.  It's also dry on top around the right carburetor and everywhere  
else on top.  Does anyone have any ideas on what the more likely  suspects 
are and I fervently hope that one of them isn't the forward crank  seal.  
So 
what's left, pushrods and ?  Any  ideas?
Thanks,
RonH
