We would spray the suspect parts, seals, gaskets, seams, etc. with enough of the powder to turn everything white. Then we would run the engine and watch the area. As soon as the oil leaks past its defective containment part, it will turn the powder brown. There is your leak.
Brilliant - that's what I need to do; I'm also gonna have to buy a little torque wrench and set the proper tension on the bolts so they are uniform.

THx all -
