Oil leak on drivers side

Bigbodykyl · 11-07-2018, 05:41 PM

I have recently noticed some oil spotting in my garage. I checked under the hood and it seems there is oil leaking on the entire driver side of the engine. It is mostly underneath the engine cover right next to the oil filter housing and underneath the intake manifold. The passenger side of the engine is clean. The front of the engine is clean. I am guessing this is the oil filter housing gasket. Could it be the valve cover gasket? From what I have read the valve cover usually leaks on the passenger side.

Sounds like the OFHG needs replacement.

If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
