With the cross state holiday driving a relatively minor 2 yr old oil leak (almost losing a quart every 3k) turned into losing about a quart every 100 miles on the way home tonight Before leaving I noticed the drip coming from the front of the tranny leaving me to believe its the rear main. I do have the leaky rear intake as well. I did do an oil change and double checked my filter and drain plug which were dry-definitely coming from b/t the pan and front of tranny. Someone confirm I am sane and tell me that there is no way the intake could leak that much oil.

This casts a major black cloud on my awesome Konis and c5 install I got done over christmas.

 

Now that its light I checked from the top (no means to jack up here in at my apt) and it seems worse on the passenger side as its all over my starter and my cat. I felt around the back of the intake and it was greasy but did not feel like fresh oil.

Is there any way just an intake leak with low rpm hwy driving can leak 1 qt every 100 miles? I just dont see that as possible.

 

even a small leak can produce a lot of fluid. A quart in 100 miles isn't that much for a moderate leak. But to be safe I would check the valve cover gaskets too.

One things for sure you should fix it and clean all that oil up cause if god forbid you have an engine fire its over
