Well, I thank everyone for the input. I'm sure it will help.

Pete - Thanks I'll let you know if I need that pipe. You say it's a rather
involved process replacing that o-ring? Guess I'll have to wait until it
warms up a little because I have no garage to work in (well I sort of do but
it has the '78 in it right now and is blocked by the non-running '85 :)

Roger - I knew about Pete having that problem. I actually e-mailed him a
picture of the oil all over the ground asking him if it looks familiar.

Dennis, Ed, and Unca Joel thank you for your advice as well. I hope it is
only that oil cooler ring.

I'm burning off some serious bad Karma. Patty and I got home tonight (after
work, eating, and some shopping) and the house was cold. The damn igniter to
the furnace is broken - too late to get a new one. Drove to Patty's parents
house about 30 miles (one way) because they had an extra. Got home and the
damn connectors are different. So I cut the ends spliced the wires together
- installed it. Turned on the furnace and the damn thing sparked up and
broke. So here we are with the electric blanket, the camping heater from the
bus, three cats, two dogs, and Patty and I. It's going to be a cold morning
- I'm glad Jack is at his mother's tonight.

Oh, well life can dish it out sometimes but I'm not complaining too much.
