I just got my truck back together after my swap and I have an oil leak already! I used all new gaskets but must have not gotten a good seal on the tappet cover because it is drenching the drivers side of my motor. Has anybody ever attempted to replace the cover gasket with the p pump still there? I am dreading removing everything again in order to fix an oil leak. I haven't 100% pinpointed the leak from the tappet cover but I am betting that's got to be it. My leak is there whether the truck is running or not and its running down the side of the motor around the transfer pump/starter area. Its definitely not the valve cover gasket or the head gasket because its all dry up to the top of the block. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.
