Looking for the leak

Well I got the engine on the stand. Here is a real short video of it..if you click on the "gear" in the lower right you can change it to HD.
It looks like most of the oil was coming from the valve cover breathers, they had come apart from the heat I guess. I do have a little seepage from the rear cam freeze plug and a little coming from around the rear oil pan...cant tell if main seal or gasket...Ill change both.

Enjoy. Ken

Ken,

I've got some leak detection dye you are supposed to put in the oil, and the UV light and glasses to go with it.

If you want to use it, I plan to be at Bob's in Mandarin to view the Falcon wagon around mid day tomorrow (Monday the 21st). I could leave it with him if you want to try it. Let me know,

Tom

Thanks for the offer Tom but I'm good. I think I found all of them.
I'll reseal it and Change the breather system then run it again on the stand a few times.
