>MY newest leak.  It appears that the fitting for my oil gauge pipe is
leaking 
at the point that it enters the engine.  I tried to tighten it but of
course 
that didnt work.

Virgil,

There is an adapter at the block.  You didn't say if it was where the
adapter screws into the block or the joint where the tube attaches to the
adapter.  If it is the former then you can remove it from the block and
apply some pipe dope (available in the plumbing department of your local
hardware store) and reinstall.  This will cure what ails you.
