Ok maybe some one can help me out here. I just did the Inatke Manifold leak fix on my 94 LT1 but still oil is leaking, I checked the IM bolts and there still tight.

So other day I cleaned the bottom of my engine to see if oil still leaked, well after i went for a drive and came back i looked under my car at the engine and noticed the oil came back!

So I looked harder and noticed oil on the bottom of my water pump and running down the complete front side of the engine.

Now I heard of this as also another LT1 problem and it ended up being the water pump drive gear seal going.

Has anyone else have this problem and fixed it? and was it the culprit?

Thanks

 

my drive gear/timing gear cover is leaking bad, i'll be ripping my **** apart spring break. I'm sorry to hear it's still leaking. How hard was the fix?

 

Doing it by myself took 3 1/2 to 4 hrs to do and on a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being the hardest, I would rate a 7 for a newbie considering it was my first time doing it, but since I know how everything goes it will be easier to do next time ( knocks on wood).

The RTV sealent I used was Prematex Ultra Gray for Imports, I hear good this about and can with stand higher temps. Just make sure you use a fat bead though.
Gaskets I used were Felpro.

 

ya everyone told me to use fel pro, it'll be my first major job on a car for me, i just hope i dont mess anything up.

 

If you take your time everything should go well... Use the 2 inch cut pencil trick, that will help you set the intake on properly.
