I overfilled the engine oil by a couple of quarts on my 351W (no lectures please) and I now have a minor oil leak coming from the rear main area or possibly higher on the motor: valve cover gasket and intake seal looks OK. Just wondering if anyone experienced oil leaks from overfilled engine oil.???????thanks, Norm
