the oil leak from helllll
i have an oil leak... not a drip, its a constant FLOW! i always had a small leak from the rear of my driverside valve cover. i was driving the other night and i was in 2nd at about 3500rpm for a while (bein a dick lol) and i stopped and smoke was pouring out from under the hood. jump out to look and there was oil everywhere on the driverside, smoke coming from the oil on the header. look under the car and theres a huge puddle! so i limp it home.. realized there was a steady trail that u could follow from my firehouse to my house lol. so i figured i just finished off the valve cover gasket... i bought a new set of rubber Fel-Pro ones and installed them today. filled it up with oil again, start it up and now its a steady stream! climbed under the car and saw it was running down from where the trans meets the engine. climb into the engine bay and can see it running down the back of the motor onto the trans.... theres just not enough room to see exactly where its coming from! the distributor hole is sealed up and dry so its below that... when i installed the manifold i RTV'd the crap outa the back, and is there even enough oil under the manifold to cause a steady flow?? i reallly dont wanna tear the whole top off again lol. any ideas where it could be coming from??
