Thanks guys. Next oil change I'll take a look at changing the gasket. So far after tightening everything back up that was extremely loose, the oil drips have subsided to a reasonable amount. Now tho it seems like my "granny gear"(downshifting when going up hills or passing) is starting to struggle. It will downshift and kick the secondary on carb open only if I put my foot into the floor. We were coming out of Caprock canyon the other day and climbing a hill and I was nervous we weren't going to make it. We maxed out at 20mph any more Hill and we would have been crawling.
