No, posting in someone else's thread with your problem is not the right thing to do.
Now you have a thread of your own.
But, you aren't going to get much help with the way you worded it. Are you expecting a list of all possible places oil can leak? Why don't you just start by telling us where you're seeing the leaks.

Re: Oil leak
Sounds like either the timing cover gasket, or the seal in the cover where the balancer attaches to the crank. The latter is press fit- you can knock it out w/ a socket and a BFH, and it installs the same way.
Easiest way to eliminate them ALL is to use a Fel Pro 1 pc oil pan gasket, and replace the timing cover gasket/balancer seal.
Otherwise, just do the tc gasket/balancer seal, and RTV the crap out of the corners.

Re: Oil leak
Depends....do you have a balancer puller, and installer? Otherwise the gasket kit is pretty cheap.
Also, if you are doing the oil pan as well, the 1 pc gasket costs about 40, but is worth every penny.
