Okay, so first off, I have a 2000 Camaro Z28 with an SS hood, K&N filter, Flowmaster muffler, and misc engine work. Since I got the car in July, I have had a major oil leak that I have been unable to fix. My father is a mechanic and we own an automotive shop, so I have all possible tools and parts at my disposal. It's just that he's been so busy he's only had a chance to look at it a few times even though he has 20 years experience. So far, we've changed the rear main seal and we've resealed the oil pan. The leak seamed to be fixed for a bit, but it wasn't. The leak looks kind of like it's coming down from the intake and it's flying back all over the torque arm, driveshaft, and transmission and you can smell it burning after you turn the car off. Being a college student, oil is becoming very expensive for me and I want to fix this at all costs because I truly love my car(I use to own a Mustang...no complaints, but I'm never going back). Does anyone have any tips or any knowledge of what the problem may be?

Again, thank you very much. All help is appreciated.

Intake....When they leak, they make a f-in mess. Spray down your engine with engine brite, power washer, then run it an look for the leak.

 

[&:] intakes and oil pressure sending units would seem to be the most common so id concentrate the search in those areas to start. wash the area and then run the engine for just a little bit and recheck. you can go so far as puting dye into the crank case and using an ultra violet light to help locate the source, most larger shops should have this. the light makes leaks stick out like a sore thumb kurt
