I started a thread about this maybe 2 weeks ago. i'm creating a new one because i have new stuff about it. i have figured out that the reason the crossmember had oil on it was because of blowby from when i drive. now, oil is leaking from the engine shield. the engine shield seems wet from oil and the little lip on the engine shield has drips. last night me and my mechanic replaced upper, lower intake gaskets along with valve cover gaskets. we noticed when we took off the upper you could see alot of oil on the back of the block so that means it was dripping down and going onto engine shield which makes sense. the other mechanic who did my engine is a scumbag bc he screwed up bad thats why i had to replace the gaskets. well, we replaced them last night and today i went under my car and cleaned the whole tranny and crossmember from the blowby from the engine oil leak and cleaned the engine shield and it was all clean. i took it for a ride for like 10 minutes and the next thing i know i look udner my car to see if it is leaking and of course you see one drop on the ground and there are two drops on the engine shield that did'nt come off to hit the ground yet and you can feel that the engine shield is wet. i don't know if its left-over or what? what does everyone think and what else could be leaking. that had to be the problem or part of the problem. we saw all the oil when we took the intake off so i know that has to do with it but they are all replaced now. so what does everyone think?

Maybe your engine's rear main seal is leaking. Remove the tranny torque converter plate and check it out. I went through the same ordeal. G.L.

Mex Stang,

First off, you don't think it could be left-over?

and also does removing the torque convertor plate consist of removing tranny?

That would be my guess. That's a common problem.

Id have to second that dam rear main seal........! Always a problem especially on high milage engines!

[lxarlo]

it could be the rear main seal, oil pan gasket, or the flywheel bolts (if there is no thread sealer)

Check for leaking main seals but also check the oil pressure sending unit.

also the bolt holes in the crankshaft must use some type of sealer since they thread all the way through
