<VV> Fwd: Oil drip 64 spyder

[Frank DuVal]

Wet manifold hangers usually, but not always, means leaking push rod tube o-rings. 

Drive with lower shroud off. So you can see better.

> I have an oil drip issue on the driver side in the valve cover/ shroud area. I believed gasket was the issue and replaced twice, first with cork gasket and now with rubber gasket. Each time, I used a coating of ultra black between cover and gasket only. Cover was checked for straightness, proper fasteners used. I removed shroud, and saw no signs of leaking push rod tubes. I ran engine and sat and watched. No oil. I drove car, no oil. I parked car with a cookie sheet underneath, however, with shroud reattached. Three days later, I have a spot about the size of a dollar bill. I should mention that when removing cover initially, there was quite a bit of the orange sealer present, and that rear two clamps holding exhaust manifold were wet. Oil pan gasket looks wet also. As mentioned, the only oil spot I see is at forward end under shroud area. Could it be oil pan seeping while car sits, or something from up top running down. Drivers side only. Thanks, Jim
