Im tellin ya Winston, go invest in a dye kit if you are serious about finding the source of the leak. The problem is the fan blows the oil all over and you never really know where its coming from unless its a small seap where there isnt that much oil.

As Blown said, it looks like a blown head gasket. If not, then like Rengnath said, get a dye kit and see

LMAO, it just sucks we repaired the passenger side for the driver side to go out. I guess thats just the way things work sometimes.

For Winstons we used a Felpro multilayer steel headgasket, Mopar gasket sealant and Felpro head bolt kit.

If there is a slight warp, we could try the Cometic headgaskets as they are the thickest available. Then again it only cost $75 to resurface the head, lol.

even with a blown HG would it be possible to loose as much oil as i did? is there any other place where it could be coming from. as far as i could see the VC was not leaking. the oil residue is only on the back half of the head. and block area. maybe im missing something obvious.

Now Winston, I remember telling you to not drive it hard and go easy on her until you got the chance for a dealer to run a full diagnostic to ensure all was good to go.

Now really think about this statement. I bet you did notice it.
