Ok i've got an oil leak on the driver side. Right above the oil filter towards the topside of the motor. Not sure exactly where it's coming from. leaks down and covers the bottom front part of the bellhousing. Would an Intake gasket leak and let a little out that way? this is on the LBZ by the way. Doesn't look like a the turbo drain tube. nothing around that is wet.

Also Since i've had the egr blocked and the pcv rerouted, I've got oil coming out where the blocker plate is and the bolts are tight.

Thanks.

What side is your gasket on?

so far as far as i can see its coming down the side right over or at that galley plug. tomorrow night or wednesday i'm gonna pull the up pipes and see if its the turbo oil drain and go from there. i just hope its not the upper pan..... i really don't like the idea of leaving my truck at the dealer overnite........
