I'm trying to figure out where this oil leak is coming from. It's dripping down the side of the bell on the tranny and seems to be coming from above and out of my sight. It's a slow constant drip and I was wondering if anyone else had this problem before I get to deep looking

 

Oil pressure sensor, or the gasket at the back of the intake, maybe even one of the valve covers..... If you take off the air filter housing, you can kinda/sorta see down in there. Use a bright light to make it easier.

 

Ok thanks il take a look at that tomorrow

 

Stick a camera back there, that's how I found out my timing cover was leaking.

 

Timing cover is on the front of the motor....


Most likely it's the oil pressure sender. They're really common leak sources.

 

How easy is that to get to? I haven't done one before

 

Pain in the keester. It's back behind the intake. Pull the air filter housing, lay across the top of the motor, and you might be able to see it. It's just to the passenger side of the distributor.

 

Having same issue with mine, drip on the bell with an oil trail down the drivers side. Swapped out the oil sender and no diff. Can the distributor be a source of leakage? If not I'm pretty convinced its the intake gasket

 

As was mentioned - most likely Oil pressure sensor, or the gasket at the back of the intake, maybe even one of the valve covers..... the distributor has a rubber lip seal around it that can leak, but isn't a typical culprit.
