I had my 87 iroc's 350 tpi rebuilt. It started to leak oil in between the oil cooler and the adapter/engine block. A new gasket was installed. It was okey until about 2 weeks later, same thing- it leaked oil again. It does have a high volume oil pump. At idle oil pressure is around 35 lbs in park at 4000 rpm its approx 70 - 80 lbs. Any ideas why this is happening? What can be done? Should RTV/gasket maker be used?

Many thanks

Nobody has any thoughts?

i wouldnt say the oil pressure has anything to do w/ it. i would say the gasket is just not sealing correctly, so i would replace the gasket again, but use some kind of sealing compound and seal that mother so it doesnt leak again!
