common issues.. vavle cover gasket, oilfilter adapter(fixed), rear main/oil pan. the problem with the vavle cover gasket is that it's rubber and it hardens over time/heat so next time around I'm going with cork. As for the rearmain seal... I'm not sure what I'm going to do and at this time it's not terrible but I hate leaks!

Yes sir... the o-ring set is like 5-8 bucks at the dealership and you need a t-65 torx bit. NOT A SOCKET!!! a socket will not fit inbetween the bolt and the framerail with a ratchet wrench.

If you are doing an oil pan gasket do the rear main at the same time, only an extra 15min from there.
But I don't understand why couldn't find the leak? Brake clean air hose clean it off and drive it. Could be more than one spot.
Also check the PCV vent is not clogged. just blow air through it you will brake it if you try to take it off.
And buy the good gaskets not the stupid cork ones they never last1950 Willys Trail Rig
