New head gaskets fixed it. Thanks to all for the help!

I put the dye in and ran it. It looks like it is coming from the head gaskets. I don't see where it could be coming from anything else in that area. It must be the way the air circulates that it pushes the majority of the leak towards the block and away from the head gasket. The two cooling fins...

How long do you run the engine with UV dye to find the leak? Do you run for a certain length of time or just until you see fresh oil dripping? It was dripping after running 1 minute.

I'll get it cleaned up and pick up some UV dye and a black light and see what's going on.

How do you tell if the heads are cracked? I pulled the heads and it looks like it's coming from the middle of the heads. I would think the only place you would have an oil leak in the head would be in the rocker valve area or the oil passages going from the block to the head in the head gasket...

It looks that way in the pic but it was tight and there was no exhaust leak that I noticed.

Its not coming from the rocker cover / valve cover.

Need help figuring out where my oil leak is coming from. Its coming from above the sump gasket so I don't believe its that. Its running down the fins of both heads and drips off the bottom of the heads near the exhaust ports. It's not the valve cover gaskets because I made sure they were sealed...
