Front main, timing case cover, vacuum pump, and a transmission line... I fixed the valve covers a couple months ago.

I think I have fixed all of mine. Finally put valve covers gaskets on it after the clutch went out. Tourqued all the oil pan gaskets, stopped that leak. My only engine leak now is the timing case, which I will be tearing apart shortly. Gonna check the KDP while i'm in there, PO said it was taken care of but only time will tell.

The rear end has a very little seepage around the cover.

If I try to fill it past when it clicks off it will leak down the sides of the fuel tank from somewhere on the top of the tank, I have a new grommet to replace when I get around to dropping my tank for the overflow valve but I think it is the nut on top of the sender.
But it hasn’t leaked in a while since I have not been able to top op my tank lately.

There is a slight leak from the transmission cooler line by the pan.
The biggest leak is the fuel; it seems to leak down by every 3rd. day costing me another $60.00 to fill it back up.

If something leaks I fix it so it does not eat up my driveway.
