Determine leak source.
1. Oil press switch is behind starter, they all leak, runs down side of block. Remove starter to replace.
2. All leak past head gasket next to chain tensioner, runs down front of timing cover. First enlarge hole to check valve in the breather nipple or replace nipple with new updated one. Reduces crankcase pressure at idle which forces oil past head gasket at block/timing cover interface. Next remove valve cover and torque head bolts to 95 lbsft. Do not break these stretch bolts, if any seem to be stretching too much, replace. These actions usually stop/minimise the leakage. If leak is still excessive, check the tensioner seal ring. The head gasket is metal. If it does need replacement, check head for flatness? and use sealant at the block to covers interfaces.
