Hey guys.
I've got an oil leak and can't tell where it's coming from. It's the original 289, C4 combo. Engine was rebuilt recently and maybe has 2 miles on it since the rebuild, if that. It pours smoke from underneath the car, which we have determined is from an oil leak dripping onto the headers. When the car is off, sitting in the driveway, It doesn't leak, but it DOES leak when it is idling in the driveway. There is oil on the sides of the bell hoursing, as well as on the headers. It IS on both headers, so we couldn't really track it down to a certain side. We can't tell where the leak is coming from and was wondering if you guys knew of any places that might be seceptible to oil leaks, or any ideas you guys might have for tracking it down.
Thanks,
