For some reason I can't seem to upload pics
but I did take your advice and examined the hoses closely as well as any point that could leak. All looks sound so far. There won't be many miles put on it so I shall attack these issues one at a time.
I have read where the gage clusters (oil pressure to be specific) can go on these. Seems to be a cottage industry of folks who will actually come to your place and replace them for $100.
You ever seem this problem? Seems like a decent solution?
