Well I got it torn out today and it doesn't appear to be the head gasket. I will know more tomorrow night when I tear the head down. I'm still trying to find where the oil was leaking really bad. It is from the rear and does not appear to be the rear main yet or the valve cover gaskets. Can oil leak out the egr cover? The po also did not use gaskets on everything, mostly just rtv and it appears he that he applied it and torqued the bolts right away causing it not to seal correctly. I also noticed that the reason I lost all the coolant was because the plugged/capped off a coolant line on the back pass side of the engine that ended up splitting. Does anyone know where the original hose was suppose to go? I'll try to load some pictures tomorrow. Thanks
