You guys rock.
I checked all over with a flashlight tonight and found nothing. The manifolds look clean, no sign of oil anywhere. Again this is just looking at the top and sides, not underneath. Nothing has leaked on the ground. Tomorrow I'll jack it up and look around. Is their a specific place or just generally near the rear of the heads?
For those of you that found a leak, how did you find out that their was a problem?
Thanks.

You won't see(unless it's a cam-cover leak) it until you get underneath. I havn't done it myself but look at the rear of the right head. Look for any oil stains/drips onto the cat. conv. usually.
You can remove the intake boot from the throttle body to look for signs of oil in your intake.

Found it the first time with oil on the garage floor.

Whew, it's not the head gasket. But I have oil draining out of the throttle body. I even have a breather on the passenger side valve cover. I just couldn't believe it.

Solved my problem with the screen (check the Guiness record length thread on NLOC).
