97 ss need help bad please
So it was running terible after it would get warm found out to be the opti. Replaced it with an accel opti and now it is running great. The issue now is it is throwing p0335 ad p0336 which I know is the crank sensor and range/performance so replaced the sensor but it didnt make either code go away. On top of that it is leaking oil and when its under wot the oil pressure gaugr show the oil dropping a little. Under normal condition the oil pressure is normal but only when you floor it does it kinda of drop instead of going up. The oil seems to be coming from behind the harmonic balancer but in front of the timing chain cover. Pretty much where the balancer would go into the timing cover. Its a 1997 lt1 38k 6 speed with obII

Pretty common leak - its likely coming from the crank position sensor. It seals with an o-ring that starts to leak over time. Just unbolt the retaining tab, slide it out (might have to tugg a little), put a small amount of gasket sealer around the side of the o-ring flange and stick it back in. Usually takes care of the problem. As far as oil pressure dropping with throttle - not sure about that one...

I don't believe its from that sensor causes it is new and also cause the oil in leaking down on to it. Now after today the ses light is off and all I did was change the oil. It helped with the oil pressure a little bit but it is still off. I think the leak is coming from the crank seal assembly in the timing cover. Has anyone ever done one? The only thing I can't figure out is why the oil pressure drops a little under wot. Could that just be from the seal assembly leaking?
