Okay, I pulled the engine out this morning and after very close inspection discovered that the pan has a hair line crack around the area of the motor mount bolt so now I'm on the hunt for another pan. This oil pan is aluminum and has had lots of other problems as heli-coils for the motor mount blots, drain plug had been striped out and the surface where the motor mounts has been beat up pretty bad so I guess it was time to replace it anyway. If anybody has a good oil pan I'm in the market. I'll post a add in the wanted section and see what I can find.
Thanks for all of your helpful suggestions.
