More progress, well found two oil weeps under the motor, only done 95 miles so far. Seems to be leaking between the head and block. Just a very small weep

Re: niko's 61 microbus
check lower head studs under rocker gear , usually need to use sealant aviation goo style to stop oil weeping
Straight axle is better than IRS

Re: niko's 61 microbus
Had my first wedding in the bus last week and it drove on the freeway like a champ Only problem is the brakes are total crap so i bought a remote booster for it, now to mount it and see how we go.
Feel like a rock star driving it as everyone looks and points!!
