Chasing oil getting out.
Never had any bad oil leaks, but I would see a drop or two at times hit the floor. Am working on all of Marc Haibecks recommendations to get it shut off completely.
First I checked all the easily accesible pan bolts. Some were a little loose. One was about ready to fall out!. Just this step helped a lot. Would notice a small amount of oil beside the injector housing on drivers side. Removed the PCV 90 degree rubber grommet and saw the lip was folded as in Marc's pictures. Replaced it. Only sign of leaking now is at right front of oil pan. Have the cross braces out to get to the hidden bolts and the 3 at the front. One front pan bolt was missing, but was suprised there was no oil leak around it. Of course I replaced it with a new one and tightened the others. I think the oil pressure regulator cover may be leaking some. I can't seem to access it from the bottom. Marc's instructions say to lift right side of engine and access it from the top. I guess my question is: What is the procedure for lifting the right side of engine?? Or does anyone have another recommendation for accessing the cover bolts ?
