Well, If you have abuot 50-60K miles on your car, check your rear main seal. Mine started off with small leaks, didnt think much of it (was new to the fbody world), and now I've got a new Rear Main Seal, Oil Pan, Rear Cover Gasket, and Oil pan Gasket....all for a mere $750.00!!! :rolleyes: A small leak could be anything.<b><a href=\"http://members.cox.net/95batmobile/d86f.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Sinister Six</a> </b><br /><br />1998 Sport Metallic Gold Firebird A4:<br /><br />Whisper Lid, 5% Limo Tint, 30th Anniversary Side Stripes, 3\" Borla Catback Dual Exhaust, Man Fan Switch, SLP CAI<br /> <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/98goldbird\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/98goldbird</a> -

I had the same thing, and it turned out to be the valve cover gaskets. Lucky for me, I'm finishing the other gasket tomorrow. Where do you see the oil? Is it around the dust cover, or more towards the exhaust manifolds? My leak wasn't bad either, but it dripped on the exhaust, and the smell drove me insane. Did you by any change just switch to synthetic oil?94 Firebird 3.4 - RIP<br />97 Firebird 3.8 - In the worksComment
