So i replaced my engine and everything was perfect, suddenly i see a oil leak so i checked my valve cover gasket and there was just a little oil coming out of the gasket so i replaced it. couple of days later it starts to leak again! so i checked my valve cover gasket and it was perfectly fine, so i lifted the car and come to see there was a big mess on the left side of the oil pan gasket and replaced, still did not fix the problem. I decided to take the car to a mechanis and he told me it was the ream main seal and had to take off the tranny and flywheel to replace, so he fixed it and still the same problem so i have totally given up and seriously depressed. What could be the problem? i checked everything but the leak is coming from the rear middle of the engine tranny side. Please Help!

sounds like a head gasket. these motors have a oil o ring in the middle rear or cyl head gasket that always leaks. see if it is coming from between the head and block
