Nothin compared to the continuous mess under the Peep, self oiling floor pan, yes all the gaskets, orings and rms have been done, nevertheless, my peep likes to leak. I recommend a felpro product for the pan gasket, maybe when you beat the p out of it, your rig is just gettin a counterpunch in. Check the breather hoses from your valve cover are not clogged causing a buildup of crankcase pressure.How is the oil level, that's what really counts.

because it's a PITA to get the bolt out due to clearance issues. Check the links, you'll see.
