Hello there guys. To start yesterday i changed my stock intake manifold n carb for an edelbrock carb and intkake manifold. Took the valve covers off to install the maniold. After all installed ran the elco and was dripping a lot off oil. So i put in new valve cover gaskets to replace the thin ones they had and stopped the oil from dripping. Today i was on the highway and noticed smoke coming out from the back of the elco i checked and therse oil all on one of my exhaust pipe coming from the engine to the back anyone know whats going on?

welcome Vic
could be the rear intake seal slipped out,, if you used them? most just use a bead of sealer for that reason..
make sure theres no wires under the valve cover..
retorq the intake..:texas:

I never use the end seals, just RTV.

Check your oil pressure sender unit.

I just fixed my oil leak dripping on my headers from the back on the intake. I did not use the seals just a good bead on RTV.

Thanks. You guys were right its the back of the intake. The intake seal slipped out. guess i have to reinstall it any idea so i wont have to this.

Like every one said don't use the seal, use RTV. Put down a bead on the front and back sealing surfaces, let it set up a little while, then carefully set intake straight down on it. Check for youtube videos.

i have cleaned the area off real good with brake/carb cleaner and put a bead of rtv on it,,
from the outside,, work it in with your finger,, let it dry for 24hrs before you run it..
its worth a try sometimes,, if you dont want to pull the intake again..:texas:
