Electrical shorts that do not blow fuses can be tricky, but not super hard..

http://www.inliners.org/tech/tech6.html  .. is a good link .

As far as oil leaks go, clean up the block with a good shampoo and look for leaks after its clean.

great link Fraser, thats goin in the support thread.

Josh, you can also get a dye that shows up under a flourescent light(comes in a kit) so you put the dye in the oil and then when it leaks you can follow the trace with the light.

Of course you should clean it up real nice like Fraser said, makes it easier to find and also way nicer to work on.
