Its not leaking oil anywhere else?? Really climb all over the engine to
find any wet spots. if not, then its an internal problem. (gulp!)

Might sound funny but are you on the gas more? (Spirited driving now that
its running better than before) Have you noticed whether or not your

on the same driving routine?

How many tanks of gas have you burned since all the repairs/tune up?
