hey everyone need some advice here

I have a 1982 camaro with a swapped 350 4bbl motor and it appears i have an oil leak somewhere

It's slow but still leaves tiny puddles after being parked

I had a friend look at it and he says it looks like I might have an intake leak

What's the easiest way to identify the leak? I can't seem to pinpoint where it's at, and unfortunately I haven't had access to a lift or anything

 

Clean the motor as much as possible and put it up on jackstands and see if you can tell. I had one after my swap, it was from the oil pressure sending unit....

 

yea you wanna do that, clean the motor by hand where ever you see oil. and then turn it on. and let it idle to operating temp, then you can start some small free reving, and hold the rpms to 2k and idle again and just keep looking around to see where the oil is coming from. I just got done sealing all the oil leaks on mine not to long ago and i can tell you from where these sb love to leak from.
Lets start on the bottom end... look around the oil pan, from when the timing cover meets the pan or from where the end of your pan meets the transmission.. Next place is if you still have the mechanical fuel pump, where the pump bolts on to the block of your engine they usually leak from there because the gasket tends to brun off. Another place can be from your timing cover front seal.
now lets move to your top end.. the intake manifold LOVES to leak.. from the front or to the back of the engine where the dizz is, and of course check for the obvious valve covers. hope this helps
