Front engine cover oil leak

[terry_b]

Well the dealership will have my Camaro for a couple days to fix a small leak from the front engine cover. They can't quite tell if it's from the head gasket or exactly where it's coming from, even after they added dye to the oil.

Has anybody else had something like this? Anything I should look out for?

On the plus side I get to drive a caddy for a while since it is warranty work!

Check the section on issues and problems. One guy on here has had the same problem more than 4 times. He traded in his V6 ultimately. I think his name is NYRfan. You can search for his posts. It was titled with "oil leak".

Probably the timing chain cover (If towards the front), it's somewhat common on the V6.

It was actually the head gasket. Dealer confirmed it was failed after disassembly. They did great, no problems so far!
