oil leak problem

[william_1222]

i have an 1989 firebird with a 2.8 v6 in it and it has an oil leak coming from the top back side of the motor. theres not much room back there for me to see where its coming from so is there any way to beable to get back there and check?

clean the engine and then use a mirror to check for the source. They make mirrors similar to what a dentist uses with an extendable handle.

Probably the distributor O-ring. You may not have a distributor but the hole is still there. Common on the 2.8, 3.1, 3.4 engines. $1.50 part PITA to change, not alot of room to work. You will need to remove at least the upper intake manifold to gain the room to work on it.
