Either the rear main seal,or between the rear main cap and the block would be my guess!

Did you buy this kit or piece it together yourself?

Bought a kit like similiar to what Lee F. had installed. But I guess I lost some bolts with all the bouncing on the trailer on the way back to Tx.

I have found all the others except for the front water pump bolts that have the provisions for nuts to hold the AC braket....still looking for those...
