Oil Leak

I am trying to fix my leaks, I just fixed the one at the power steering pump now I am on to an oil leak coming from the front of the engine, it shows up after a drive. The oil shows up on the front side of the block around the fuel pump, I believe being blown their by my flex fan. I believe it is coming from the timing chain cover, but not sure. the cover is a chrome one i think chrome stuff just doesn't seal good. my question is when I did my engine swap on the oil pan I used a one piece gasket was that a good idea? I know to reseal the timing cover I will need to drop the oil pan. just looking for ideas on how to seal these things up?

Well I put it up on jack stands and ran it for a little while. it was leaking at the timing chain cover where it meets the oil pan, and leaking a little from the rear of the oil pan. so I am going to replace the oil pan gasket with the normal 4 piece set.

I replaced my oil pan and valve cover gaskets with a one piece Fel Pro like this one: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FEL-OS34510T/

Install was fairly simple and unventful, even for guy like me with 10 thumbs. Willis762010-04-21 07:25:21

I have to agree on this one, I used the felpro one peice also and loved the way it installed. It has been in the car for over 5 years now and not a drop.

I just put a 1 piece pan gasket on a new pan that I had to replace and it sealed good around the timing cover. You need to put a little gray HI-TEMP ATV SILICONE in the corners where the cover meets the block and also at the rear main bearing housing. NO RUNS NO DRIPS

well I have then new 4 piece installed things look OK so far I will try to take it for a ride sat. That looks like the one I had to replace,  did anybody have a chrome timing chain cover? I am not sure if I used sealant when I had installed it. some extra rtv where it goes across the main and timing cover would have helped.
