The back of my intake was leaking oil, not allot, but enough to leave a few drops in teh driveway after driving. I am in teh process of pulling it right now. What are some problems that can be caused by this besides the obvious?

 

i think it can lower the compression, but dont quote me on that... maybe lower oil pressure?

 

You won't have lower oil pressure, but it is possible to have vacuum leaks.
