Re: help

I just went through this. I checked my oil pan bolts and tighten those up. Swore up and down it was my rear main leakin. Finally i pulled the motor and it was my intake manifold leaking out the back collecting oil in the tranny bell housing then drippin all over my damn garage floor so replace your manifold gaskets and go from there. It is that or rear main or oil pan or your oil filter is loose.
