 man, sorry to hear the bad luck.  Maybe take the smoking/leaking part out of the ad?  I am gone next week, but bring it by sometime and we will try to diagnose it.  Have you had it on a rack?  Oil pan maybe? I put a new rear main in it, but thats not to say i glued it all back just right.

Yea I had it up there. Can't tell where it's coming from. It's like some magical oil leak. I would take it out of the ad if the car didn't smoke after it's warmed up. Whatever it is, it's only leaking when it's running

I had the rubber grommet on the back of the lower intake that holds the PCV valve pop out.  Oil would run down the block and drip on the exhaust, especially after shutting it off. Just a suggestion.

I had read about that on a stang forum. I shoved my hand back there and didn't feel anything, and you can't really see what's goin on back there by the firewall. So not really sure about that either. That's what I thought it was

Climb up there and lay down on the upper intake you can see really well  ;)

!!! I'd be all over this one if I didn't already have a cougar in my driveway that isn't being touched....cause I don't have any MONEY!!!

(plus I think my wife would literally kill me if I brought another car home):D

I'm in Ft Pierce (500 miles), do you think it would make the trip? Is the leak severe?
