Well....for anyone who is curious, we think we finally have it fixed. There is another 1/4 npt plug in the bottom of the block that is on the oil filter side. So we dropped the pan and cleaned the threads out and used loctite thread sealant on all of these. Started the motor again and had it running for about 20 minutes ( got the oil temp up nice) and we couldn't see any oil coming out of anything. Basically it seems that if there was a little more time spent on sealing these plugs this would have been alot easier!! Thanks for everyones help. Derek
