I noticed a very small oil leak about 3 months ago. Just the other day my low oil light came on, so I looked under the car and it looks like the entire undercarriage is covered in oil. Everything from the transmission back seems to have oil on it. I think that it is more than likely the intake manifold leak that everyone talks about, but I have not heard of anyone with this having such a large leak. Just wanted another opinion before I tore everything apart. I believe I will fix it myself so I wanted to know what tools I needed and what parts other than the gasket itself. Would you reccommend the OEM or I believe Felpro makes a replacement.

Thanks

 

My intake oil leak started out small, and progressively got worse. To confirm the leak, reach behind the passenger side of the intake manifold and feel for oil. My undercarriage was also covered with oil. I repaired it a month ago and that fixed my problem. I used AC Delco gaskets and Permatex Ultra Copper for the fix. Here's some links for "how to" if you need em:

thanks for the help

 

Just be sure and use the copper sealant. I didn't use it the first time and had 2 fix it again.
