Hope you do not mind me tagging along on this topic?
1. Where does one find the florescent trace dye?
2. Are turbo pedestal o-rings prone to failure?
I had them replaced back in 2002 and I have quite a bit of oil loss. The last oil change which was this past weekend I noticed a lot of oil on the bottom rear of the engine; all over the starter, fly wheel shroud, etc. No puddle forms on the ground, just an oil slick on the bottom of the engine and anywhere from 2 - 3 quarts low after 5000+ miles.
I know one source of the leak is my own fault. I believe I did not properly mount the breather box (if I am correct with it's name) on the drivers side valve cover. The o-rings there are not aligned correctly.
3. Could this be a source of an or the oil leak described above?

Thanks in advance
Rick
