Re: Useless poll! Does you lt1 leak?
Sure does 
I'm 99% sure it's from the rear main. I'm an idiot for not changing it when I had the tranny out for my clutch change
I always have some fresh drops on the driveway in the morning. I should really post pictures of my driveway. From my oil leaking, to spilled oil during oil changes, tire spray, you name it; this driveway is all spotted up

Damn that waterpump drive seal 
. Its my only leak, and evey where I park I leave a spot about the size of a quarter.
I even took it apart and tried to fix it once. Man was I pissed when it was still leaking after all that work.

Had an intake oil leak - fixed under warranty
Pinion seal leak - replaced pinion yoke and seal, fixed leak, broke rear gear 2 weeks later. Now have a new 12-bolt.
tranny output seal leaked - replaced seal w/ new driveshaft twice, bent 1st al DS when tranny mount broke.
Now the only leak is the windshield washer tank.

Very small drip from the front main, and I believe its cause I switched to synthetic...actually seems to be getting smaller though, like perhaps the seal is breaking in to it....

i have a small leak from the low oil pressure sensor in the pan. It leaks very slowly from there. A new sensor is $20 so if I ever get it and fix it then problem solved. But the motor blew sooo.........I dunno.

No leaks from the engine at 160k. But it did have the intake leak fixed by the previous owner (my cousin actually) around 120k. The pinion seal weeps/leaks though, and my driver's side axle seal is starting to go. I just did axle seals on my other car, too!
