I wasn't expecting this...
when I pulled off the RH valve cover from my '75:
This is along the bottom edge of the cover-I guess that would help explain why there's so much oil running down that side of the engine.
I have seen valve cover gaskets slip out of place a little bit before, but this is ridiculous. I picked up the car this fall. No telling how long it's been like that.

That's the ironic thing here. I trailered the car home in October and drove it onto my hoist (haven't started it since). It hasn't leaked a single drop of oil, tranny, or diff fluid. I can't remember the last C3, C2, C1, or muscle car I've owned that didn't leak from at least one of those three areas. This is like finding the holy grail.
