i check the oil once in a while becuase i know our engines are prone to oil leaking. but it got to a point where i am starting to worry. everyday there would be probably a good eigth cup of oil on the floor. i started looking around the oil pan to see if i scraped the crap out of it but no problem and all the screws are tight on it. the oil plug is tight and there is a new washer seal. then i notice the back of my engine closes to the firewall is shoaked in oil and it looks like it starts all the way up from the intake manifold!! imma pull the intake manifold off hopefully today and hope that it is nothing bad. but anybody got any ideas on what it is.?

i got the exact same problem......I had it for years now but it used to leak just a few drops a day........replaced the valve cover gasket - nothing.....some1 told me it was the timing belt(the seal around one of the pulley)-nothing.......now it got worse so i got under it 2 days ago and I saw the same thing.....the hole back side of the engine is splashed with oil and its going all the way up to the bottom bolts of the intake manifold......so kinda think is something dripping on one of the axles(that's why all the splashing) but i just cant figure out what.......could the intake leak engine oil(is there any oil going thru there?).....i'm pretty sure its engine oil.
If any1 finds out please let us know.......cars been sitting in the garage for about 3 months now:( --------------------  |
