Well, if you read "more from Todd" you will hear my story about oil leaks. I just got my car back together after fixing the exact same thing. It was a 4 day job from start to finish. I figure about 45hrs incl. trips for parts etc. Engine out , tear down until all that is sitting there is a block with crankshaft and pistons in it. Parts strewn across the garage floor. It looked like a car homicide, complete with oil running all over the floor. In the pictures I'm standing there with a ratchet and oil on my hands, caught in the act of, I'm happy to say "ATTEMPTED homicide".
To answer your question, yes it appears that this is a common thing with these engines. I think that the only way to properly fix the leak is to do what I did and dive in .
If you want more gory details just ask as I think there are alot of people on this board who have had to do the same thing I just did.
