3.4 Oil Leaking (BLLDGG)

[1SL1k30thCam]

My fiance has 3.4L Camaro. Oil leaking pretty bad. I got under the hood just now and I can see Oil at the very back by the firewall on top. So would this possibly be valve cover gaskets?

When i had my 3.4l camaro I had a bad oil leak and it turned out that it was just the oil pressure sending unit. You might check that.

There's an O-ring seal in the back of the lower intake manifold on the passenger side for the oil pump drive that is prone to leaking on the 3.4

I'd be more than willing to bet thats where your leak is....

This is what I figure it is. I believe you have to remove the intake to get to it but I could be wrong. I have never actually worked on a rear wheel drive 3.4

The same thing happened to me in my 3.8l ... I lost 5 quarts of oil to it... yikes!
