Oil Leak source?
Got another issue...
Have an oil leak. The rear of the oil pan is getting quite a bit on it, but nothing is hitting the ground. I am getting some smoke from the passenger side when the engine gets up to temperature...from the exhaust? Any ideas? Oil cooler? Cam tower seal? rear seal? Your input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

I would guess oil cooler, but that is just me. Do you have any radiator fluid leaking? I'm really only saying this b/c mine is doing it and I'm trying to redo the seals on it.

No coolant leakage. I did check around the cam cover (rear) and that seems to be the source. I guess the runoff is going down the back of the engine and occasionally a drop or two is getting on the exhaust, then caausing the bit of smoking after warmup. I'll search the forum for tips on replacement procedure, but any input is welcome.
