Where is this oil coming from
I noticed this puddle of oil on my intake manifold. Any ideas where it could be from? The intake manifold bolts are tight.

Re: Where is this oil coming from
they were all tight and have sealant on their threads. Does that mean the manifold didn't seal to the heads?

Re: Where is this oil coming from
There's always one or two of those little buggers that doesn't seal, oil manages to wick up the threads. Remove the offending bolts and re-seal, then give the sealant a bit of time to set before you run the motor, like overnight say.
Might take a couple of goes to stop the leak.
