Ya sure it's not the front oil pan gasket that's leaking, they can be a bear to get in correctly???

Not 100% sure it isn't the pan gasket. Could very well be. I think this week end I am going to drop the pan and pull the timing cover off again and re-gasket them both one more time. I didn't know about the centering sleeve. Thant may be my problem!!! I wish someone would make a one piece oil pan gasket for these engines.
