Default Re: Basic advice

All good advice above and I'm with pulling the engine if it's truly leaking badly from that area. Be sure to look closely and make sure it's not leaking from the oil return tube as it can run down to the back as well. If you do decide to pull the engine and do all that make sure you Clean it well, use rtv around the rear cam hole and then the gasket. I might suggest pulling the half moon rear main cover behind the oil pan and running the engine to see where things are leaking. Wipe it down well first so you can see the fresh oil.

Of course while the engine is out if that's the direction there's lots of other work to do I'm sure. Engine mount rubber and check mounts for cracks. Etc

Heck you might just have a valve cover that is leaking badly.
With a carburetor warped that much I would get a different one.
