Oil on intake manifold

Post by lineman1984 »

Hey all!
I have oil puddling on the intake of my FE. Passenger side, next to the carburetor. Any ideas why and where it comes from? I remember reading about this in a post a while ago but, I can't remember the cause or recommended repair.
Thanks Y'all!

Probably the valve cover gasket or even an intake bolt that is allowing oil to come up through it? My Buick did the same thing so I pulled a bolt and discovered all holes were open to the valley. I pulled each bolt 1 at a time and put sealer on them and no more oil.
