Are there three bolts holding the adapter onto the block for the oil cooler lines, 455? I have had a leak on this trip and it blew around on the right side, passenger's side. I can find nothing leaking but keep having a drip on the oil filter. I can not really see the adapter good but did find 3 bolts. They were loose. I snugged them back up hoping to stop the drip. Oil on the starter but none on the cooler lines, then blows back onto the torsion bar. I can't tell how bad because of the blowing of it backwards. There is no visable leaks anywhere that I can see but drips off the filter. I recall John saying he had to retighten one of the lines going into the adapter but now wonder if he just did not snug these bolts enough or they have come loose like headers and tappet covers do.
Thanks,
Dan,
