well its leaking towards the rear of the motor, and it definately oil. the car is an 86 2.8, are there any famous leak spots on this year car? or anyway, how can i find where it is whether its the distributor, rear main, or a valve cover.......... is there any give away or something?

 

I thought I had a rear main leak, especially after throwing caution to the wind and putting synthetic in, but when I pulled the dist out last week, there was oil all around the base of it. the old o-ring was completely shot. As for testing the valve covers, I'd just try to get a finger along the back edge of it and see if there's oil coming from it.
If you've never pulled your dist then your o-ring is probably just as bad.

 

Use a Chevy Small Block gasket to stop oil leak. Black RTV both sides of gasket
IF ya wanna, get the o ring, too.

 

haye makaveli is your name related to 2pac?

 

yea lol ive been a big fan of 2pac even though i listen to basically no rap. i havent had a rap cd for years now, the only rap cds i actually still buy will be 2pac cuz hes so different from all that other stuff, plus i pretty much have every cd of his and maybe one day they'll be worth something since they are all original mint condition, and they started re-releasing them hehe

 

ya SAME HERE but i dont like his newer cd's they are selling because they changed them around allot compared to the origional and the beats ont fit him if they wouldnt of tried to make the beats sound newer they would be bad ***. Dead or ALive?

 

haha! i know what you mean, his old cds are sick... i dont know about the new ones, they just dont flow like strictly 4 my, thats prolly my fave cd. i love the R U Still Down cd1, most of it is 92-93 n theres just something about the cd even though some of the songs i dont like. im just waitin for 2003 cuz hes comin back! im puttin money on it lol

 

Yup, the famous leak spot is......the distributor.
