Another oil leak question...

I have a good leak coming from somewhere but the only place I see oil is coming down the driver side of the oil pan, dripping of around the plug. Looks like it's coming from up higher but could it just be the pan or more likely the intake?

More than likely it is the back of the intake leaking and running over to the side and then down. I would just replace the intake gasket and make sure you put a good bead of rtv on the front and back of the intake after every thing is clean. LT1's are notirious for leaking out of the back of the intake.

I second that. I just fixed my leaking intake about two weeks ago. Its an easy fix, and there's a few writeups on it.

Thanks guys! I will probably do that while I have it set up. I have been taking my time changing the plugs and wires. I've gotten 6 plugs done in 2 days, lol. No hurry.
