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?

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?
