It sounds like most of your oil is trany fluid from the PS system. It pobably is from one of these main places.

1) O ring under fluid tank
2) Pressure hose (I would bet it is where the leak is)
3) Low pressure hose.

I would clean the engine and run it some and look to see where it is coming from. If you are leaking that much, it should be easy to see where it is leaking. Once you get the PS system fixed, then look for engine oil and if it is leaking from your covers.

Re: Where Is The How-To On Valve Cover Gaskets?

Ensteele thanks again, still waitin on the parts, and now i had to order the hp hose, cause i ordered the lp small one for 10$ earlier, might as well just get that one too, im hopin after replacing both hoses and the gaskets the nightmares with the leaks will end. Puttin some money together for my mechanic now, and the hp hose, cant wait to get this done. Hopefully by the end of this week. Will keep u posted on what it was exactly, and if the problem was fixed. Again appreciate all the help, any more help would be great.
