More progress, well found two oil weeps under the motor, only done 95 miles so far. Seems to be leaking between the head and block. Just a very small weep

check lower head studs under rocker gear , usually need to use sealant aviation goo style to stop oil weeping

Had my first wedding in the bus last week and it drove on the freeway like a champ
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Only problem is the brakes are total crap so i bought a remote booster for it, now to mount it and see how we go.
Feel like a rock star driving it as everyone looks and points!!
