    First of all, Howdy to all....

    My son's 2000 GTP has oily mess around exhaust header and engine heads. When we removed exhaust headers, there were alot of oil on the exhaust header bolts. Engine doesn't burn oil, smokes, or makes noises. This started after installation of aftermarket headers. Any ideas?

    My guess would be the valve cover gaskets.

    most likely, there is also a recall through GM for it, see your dealer to see if you need it fixed, either way FIX IT

    Thank you for quick responses all. We've pulled the motor, son is going to clean up motor and going to replace all gaskets. Plus do a few little mods to it. Once again, thanks... We'll keep you posted...
