it's on the bottom of the intake manifold. look down your TB and if you see oil pooling on the bottom the it's leaking.

Most definately get the APS aluminum, the replacement from Dodge will leak again, I would buy it and take it to them and have them put your part on, just a suggestion

Had it done last Friday $367.00, 12/12 warranty, dealer says they have never had one come back in after being fixed........we'll see.

Anyway, Sunday pulled my 5000 lb boat 50 miles and back....no pinging with regular gas, no oil usage so far, and seems to run alot smoother. I am happy with the results...lets see how long they last.

having mine done as we speak.....$158.00, dunno about warranty, but my truck already had the metal pan instead of hte plastic one.....so we just got a felpro gasket and put in there. Mechanic said the gasket was blown on the rear part.....thats where it normally blows isnt it?

If the gasket id blown in the rear would oil run down the back of the motor, because last weekend I noticed some oil on the back of my motor.

no, the leak is an internal one. the only way to see if it's leaking visually is to look down the throttle body at the bottom of the intake. you will see oil pooling on the bottom.

your problem is most likely your oil pressure sensor going bad.
