My d2 v8 auto have developed a persistant habbit of leaking oil from the top rear of the motor. Valley cover gasket replaced, better for a while, tighten rocker covers no difference, is now building up again to drop dinner plate size on the driveway over night. Anyone had simialer experinces, difficulties, tips or suggetsions. It's driving me crazy.

Did you replace the rocker cover gaskets as it is probably leaking especialy if you have tightened it it has probably squashed or cut the gasket and is leaking or the back of the valley pan has a hole in it hope this helps

Cheers

New rocker gaskets are flasho rubber ones, so you can't crush 'em. Grab some of those and toss the cork ones.
