I was hoping I would never have to make one of these, but, alas, I have an LSJ and I'm modding it, so there are bound to be problems somewhere.

Well, I posted a pic and someone mentioned the oil leak I had never noticed:



Well after that I took it to the dealership and they couldn't find the problem, so the guy said take off the little air filter and return it to stock and I should be fine:

(the little breather on the back left of the cover)



I believe this is a total BS story, but it could be true, because I popped my hood today just to give her a check up and I see the beginnings of it again, some oil settling in the same area, I drive it around some more, get on it, and I can smell a very, very slight olil smell. So I'm thinking there is a bad gasket somewhere, just not sure.

What do you guys think it is?

 

The rubber hose vents to the intake so the car burns the oil vapor in the cumbustion process and you never smell it. Remove that hose and just vent it and now the oil vapor can be smelt cause its no longer a closed system.

put the hose back on and you'll never notice it again.

 

Ah ok, that makes sense. What do you think the oil leak is coming from?

 

Just trace it upward and you'll find it. That pic isn't the best but from where it is it looks like it could be the valve cover gasket.

 

i have somthing that looks similar, but not as much... i think on mine it is coming from the valve cover (maybe a slight gasket leak)
