Let me see here................
You have a problem with a Chevy truck leaking oil?????? I thought they all leaked oil. My Z/28 leaks every fluid except battery acid. Seriously.....it is probably the rear main seal.....or fifty other things. |

I like to think of it as tagging and we're just saying "heather was here"

Ditto on the mark. Mine was coming from the oil filler tube that was in the valve cover. I took it off, and just put the cap on the cover. Problem solved.
