So, here's the galley plug location that you all should double check before the T/C goes on... and if you have low oil pressure it's a place to look.

I didn't want to pull the timing cover unless I knew that the oil was leaking from there, so I cut the top off of an oil container, filled with oil, and put it on top of a jackstand so that the oil pickup was inside the oil container, leaving the oil pan off. I then turned the oil pump with a drill and looked to see where the oil was coming from, and sure enough, it was STREAMING out of the inside of the timing cover. Then I knew the cover had to come off.

Anyway, the guy from the shop is coming by today after I get home from work, and installing the pipe plug and buttoning everything back up for me.

Thanks for your guys' help in diagnosing!!

I'm glad for you that is was an "easy" fix. It sucks that they missed that. I have had the worst luck with machine shops in the past.
