Oil leak fixed
I developed a leak in the primary. Couldn't figure it out for a while and it was getting worse fast. About a ounce every 50 miles. The it dawned on me, the starter! Sure enough when I grabbed onto it and it would move just a tiny bit. It shouldn't move at all. Down to dealer for a primary gasket and starter gasket, oh and a exhaust header gasket.
removed the primary, rear ex-pipe and battery and battery bracket. replaced all the gaskets and replaced the starter bolts with the proper type(some dipstick had put the wrong type in) torqued it all down and now No Leaks!!
