Oil Leak
Veh= 1999 Ram V-10, Auto, 108,000mi, mostly stock
I have developed an oil leak on the drivers side of the engine somewhere in the area of the lower part of the valve cover area. First start of the day and after a short drive 10mi or less upon shut down there will be burnt oil smell as well as smoke coming from the drivers side middle around the exhaust manifold.
The leak doesn't seem to be noticable after a long drive 50+ mi. first drive of the day. Sometimes it will be noticable throughout the day if I take short drives.
Has anyone else had a simular leak if so any info would be appreciated. Thanks
