Cavalier engine oil leak.

Apr 07, 2006 5 Replies

At the front of the engine, seemingly from just where the exhaust manifold bolts on (not from the cam box gasket, which I've renewed), right in the middle as you look from the front. A few drops a mile. What's it coming from? The= head gasket?


Is it above, or below the exhaust fanimold?

It is coming from just below the fanimold, by the look a fraction to the right of centre.

Sounds like the head gasket, there's nothing else in that area that would leak oil.

Anyone here know where the oil feed to the cylinder head goes through the gasket on a chavalier?

Other possibilities, the oil pressure sender, or the dipstick tube, but neither of these are just below the manifold, they will be lower down the block.
