Default 02 Monte SS Oil Leak
I replaced one of my fuel injectors yesterday to fix a hesitation problem I had when accerlating and noticed a small puddle of oil on the back side of the engine next to the intake manifold. Could this be due to a leak in my intake manifold gasket?

maybe it's just fate!! My mechanic just informed me that my lower intake gasket is leaking!!! No big deal tho from what he tells me.

glad to hear it is nothing to serious.

I would love to see that replacment done once or twice or even photos of it being done.

I want to get a intake from a donar car and then start playign with it to see if i can make one flow better etc....

Oh don't worry, Mickey. If you have DexCool in your Monte and the car long enough you'll be able to see the replacement done. ) It's not a big deal though. lol

So from what I'm hearing it is not that big of a headache to replace the upper gasket I took off the fuel rail myself when I replaced the injectors and from what I can remember thats all that was in the way?
