Erm... just general guesses. Oil sending unit not tight, valve cover, head gasket, oil filter not tight. I'm assuming you're talking about the front side of the downpipe just off the manifold. If it's on the rear of the engine, the only thing that comes to mind is valve cover or head gasket. Most oil leaks won't occur when idling because of decreased oil pressure. My 7A throws out a quart a day, but doesn't leak at all at idle. Sit in it for 5-10 minutes at about 2500 rpm and see what happens. Do a UV dye test if you still have trouble finding the leak. |

Also check the front of the engine where the oil pump mates to the block, If it only leaks at rpm my guess that the gasket between the block and oil pump has gone tits up. Clean engine in this area and drive it a short time after topping off oil.

After I get about 2 quarts low it isn't a terrible leak, but still annoying nonetheless. |
