i would start with putting in a dye in the oil and using ultrviolet light to pinpoint the leak.

we took the head to the machine shop and they said it was ok.then we look the type of level you go across the head and the bock to see if it is level and it is .dosen,t leak not one drop sitting there idling.but when you put aload on it it pours oil out the back.this is the2nd time I have had it off.

I don,t know if where the leak is coming from,all I know it coming from back of engine pouring out.only does it when you put it on the road and it slings it out.not sitting there idiling.
