There is also a short 6" pipe that is on the block between the cooling pipe and exhaust manifold that is the oil return pipe. It has a typical flat gasket at the bottom with mounting bolts and a round o-ring for the top of the pipe where it fits into the bottom of the head. Mine sprung a leak there and it was pretty easy to fix (if you have a lift that is).

To check it you will need a small mirror and flashlight. Good luck and if you want a parts breakout picture of it just email me privately.
