Dang I was thinking there was gonna be a video of a var pissing oil.......talk about a ruiner
Bro in all out seriousness id say ur valve covers are just as bad as any other 3.8 liter GM motor out there. Change em. Or just clean the motor once a month as to keep the oil off the exhaust manifolds
ok.. Im about 2 steps behind... Just getting at the entire engine bay being clean, but yet I have oil everywhere.. Oil is leaking ( to what seems to be out the pan, but looks more like its coming out the backside.. the first pic is a line fitting, im guessing transmission? and the goofy pic with 2 bolts showing would be where the head meets the block and is leaking oil... I assumed Head gaskets were not much of an issue on the 04+ but in this case I dont know where its leaking from..
I saw Billboost said in a post it was from the rear cover???? and that the pan seal was not able to be replaced
Probably a valve cover leaking plus engine not being cleaned in forever. Bro id just assume its valve covers. Do u actually see oil coming out of the car?
First off.. I'm happy to report you don't have oil pissing anywhere. The only thing you have is an overreacting owner about a seepage. This is great news for the motor. Meaning..it hasn't suffered any damage from being low on oil.
Clean things up well and determine the source. It that is oil, then it's either the LIM gaskets or the valve cover gaskets. If it's coolant, then it's from the little cover directly under the throttle body. Clean it.. dry it.. figure it out and fix it up.
All the coolest stories btw, have dragons and boobs in them. Your story is good because it contains no oil leaks, dragons or boobs. Well..it would be better with boobs..
The rear engine cover gasket would appear like an oil pan gasket. Which is much lower on the motor than this issue.
Go out and figure out where this seepage is coming from.
I looked when it was on the lift yesterday. Couldn't see anything. Looks like an oil pan leak as the drain plug had a bead on it and its all wet on the bottom and backside
