88 gta oil leak need help making me nuts
I have a oil leak that from underneath leaks down the driver side block off the tranny casing
ideling is a 1" puddle after 5 mins
This happened to me before years ago.
I got new valve cover gaskets
still there so now I think it's the fittings where my oil pressure gauge is at the top
it did this once I got a new one 5 years ago
2 dats ago I did 2 coats of black rtv and trying to reveal the China wall and didn't do anything
China wall leaks are super slow right
If it's leaking it has to be the gauge sending unit oil up top leaking down

When you took the car to the quarter (credit card?) car wash, and CLEANED IT UP so you could see all the nice fresh new oil,, and ran it for a minute or whatever, WHERE DID YOU SEE THE OIL COMING FROM? Did you fix it?

it's leaking down the platic loom
and not valve cover gaskets
it's not a slow leak I can't drive it

So, where is it leaking OUT OF? Don't tell us what it's leaking ON; kind of a waste doing that, after all gravity ... sucks; clean up the mess, and see where it appears IMMEDIATELY after you start it up.
