I wonder where all that oil (or whatever that is) is coming from?

Hot damn. Enough oil to stain a deck.

lscamaro · 01-03-2013, 08:23 PM

Wow, you have a lot of oil blow by if thats happening to the insulator because mine looks nothing like that

Holy crap. I thought you stained until I read. Good luck it seems you are gaining on it. That is a lot of oil.

Definitely see the oil what is that a shot of.

CamaroC-17 · 01-03-2013, 09:00 PM

Behind the drivers side header. Its where the head meets the lower block and also the transmission meets there. Its nothing though. That is only a couple drops compared to how much I'm losing. Plus i have never smelled any oil burning

Here is an underside shot of the oil in my last pic. It appears to originate from no where. I see it run down the corner of the head out of no where. I think this may be from when I took the valve cover off. Oil dripped down from the cover corner as I was pulling it up. I know I would have seen this spot before when I was looking around prior to the tear down.

Have you checked the dipstick?

Gator6977 · 01-03-2013, 09:47 PM

Have you thought of buying tracer additive that you add into your oil and hit with an ultra violet light while wearing the appropriate glasses? Might save a lot of time and pin point the leak.
