Oil in the upper
 

Still trying to figure out my overheating problem when I decided to pull of the upper intake plenum and I looked inside and saw a little oil in the upper.....Why would there be oil in it?

RE: Oil in the upper
 

The PCV system can draw a little oil out & up the hose from the oil fill neck to the intake elbow. How much is it? I wouldn't worry too much about a small dribble.

intake leeeeeeaak. if the car is driving a little funny then it most definetly could be a intake leak.
Um..cracked block(doubt that), but its probably most definetly a intake leak(blown gasket) because you've been overheating. My car is in the shop right now to figure out why it keeps overheating.

let me guess the oil is in the drivers side of the intake.I just had mine off too due to a fuel leak and noticed the a little oil too.It is coming from the pcv.

Yup drivers side. What did you do to fix it?

RE: Oil in the upper
 

i dont think there is any way to fix it.Its just the way the intake is designed.my buddy has a eldebrock manifold and his does the same thing its normal

RE: Oil in the upper
 

the leak was were the fuel line goes into the fuel pressure regulator.And if your looking for gaskets for your ssi try brothers performance 1800-486-2681;) they are $6 and the only place that had them
