what could be leaking oil on top of the engine?
just replaced my valve covers.valve covers are no longer leaking. i have veryfied this be feeling on the bottom side of the valve covers for oil.all is dry.but what i did notice was oil on the lower part of the intake manifold on the back passenger side corner.i cleaned it off as best i could and then went on a test drive.the oil was back again.what could be up there thats leaking?oil pressure switch maybe?

nevermind.i figured it out. it was a botchecd valve cover job.i pinched a 1 inch section of perimeter gasket and oil was leaking out onto the intake manifold.i had to redo the valve cover job and viola! problem solved.moral of story: TRY TO LIMIT THE LEVEL OF DOUCHEBAGGERY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE VALVE COVER GASKETS.
