Well i found my oil leak and everyone else whith teh phantom oil leak should check this spot. I held the truck at about 3500rpm after it had warmed up and what did i see, oil seeping out on the passenger where the front cover block and head share a nice little corner. So to all you guys who have oil leaks and cant find em check this spot. As far as fixing it i looked through my books and you should be able to just loosen the front cover, take off the valve cover and use the two bolts on the head to either side of the timing gear to tighten it up to the head well and then just retorque the front cover and you should be good. Me im going one step further and going to put some silicon gasket maker on that corner. Well anyway hope this helps some of you guys! 8)
