I would definately try resealing that drain just for giggles, and as stated a bit of oil dye. Clean it down with a can of brake cleaner, blow it off and then run it.
After seeing the case seal on my V3, i dont have much faith in it longevity wise. Very thin, and barely protrudes from the machined grove.

I did. Three times. Changed fittings, thread sealant, etc. Its not leaking from the fitting. Absolutely not. It's leaking from the case somewhere, and running down.
I think I've had this out several times and gone through a case of brake cleaner lol.
I *think* maybe my first -6 drain into the fp blockoff was causing back pressure and maybe it blew a seal.. ? I dunno. Annoying.
My rear main seal leaks too.. F'n old style 2pc engines. I should have build a dope LTx.
I guess I still can, technically. I've thought about yanking this motor out for my t-bucket project and doing up an LT1 for the thirdgen.
