My car is leaking oil and its becoming a problem, its dripping down and making a mess over time on the underside of my car...When i had my clutch installed, i had them check it out and said it wasnt the rear main, it looks like its coming from above it though. So what are some other places the lt1's tend to leak oil from and how hard is it to fix? thanks inadvance!

 

Rear Intake Manifold Leak! Extremely common problem. Pull the manifold off, scuff the front and rear surface, place a nice thick 1/4 bead of "Right Stuff" High Heat RTV Silicone. That will fix the probelm. To double check and make sure its the intake, feel around the back of the intake, you will feel oil. You can also place a mirror back there, and flash a flashlight at the mirror and you will be able to see everything back there, buts its gonna be that, if there is oil all over your tranny and stuff..

 

Timing chain cover, intake manifold gasket and sometimes the oil pan gasket. Its most likely the intake leaking as it is the most common. To fix it you will need to pull off the intake which isn't that bad but can be a pain with no tools/time/space to do it.
