I'm leaking quite a bit of oil from the back of my engine. Ive isolated it to the back right side under the intake manifold. Other than the head gasket and oil pan gasket, is there anything on the back which could be causing me to lose oil? I checked my radiator for signs of oil and didn't see any so if its a head gasket leak, it hasnt gone into the coolant yet. Thanks guy!!!

Well that looks like it could be a front main seal.
Mine is leaking enough to be a nuisance now, I don't have to add oil between changes yet. Seems to be either the oil pan gasket, the cam seals or the front main. I just bought some tracer dye and a UV flashlight, time to fix this problem. I'm amazed that after 197k the car dosen't burn any oil, these engines are made with quality material. |
