i just put my engine back into my camaro...i took it around the block then i checked for leaks.....i found one , a bad one at the back of the engine....its either the oil stem or the intake manifold. is it possible to have such a bad leak from the oil stem? i dont really see why it could be the intake.

Yep. You probably bumped the sender, cracking the pipe to which it's mounted when you put the engine back in. Been there, done that.
