Looking for some help to end this craziness. Trying to rid my 350 from oil leaks. So far I have replaced Oil pan gasket with 1 piece type, new Oil Pan, new, valve cover gaskets, new cast aluminum valve covers, new valve cover breather grommets, new intake manifold gasket set. And I still have a damn leak.
I checked around the back intake manifold front and back completely dry. Valve covers are dry. Oil Pan is dry. While tuning my carb I noticed a bit of oil burning smoke from the drivers, rear of the exhaust manifold. Figured it was some left over gunk and moved on. This was 2-3 weeks ago. Now I've been noticing a faint burning oil smell after the truck is warm. Usually after highway driving then sitting at a stop light.
I have not gotten under the truck with a light and looked to see if I can pin point it yet. I plan on doing that this weekend. I do hope it is not my head gaskets. Are there any other usual problem areas to check over?
Thanks all
