Oil leak! Help!
I have a slight oil leak on my 97. Leaking from the back of the engine right under the cowl. I've traced it back to where it looks like it's coming out of the cross over tubes on the back of the heads. It shouldn't be leaking from there, with it being water and not oil. No, it's not the valve covers. And it doesn't look like the intake. Anyone have this problem?

X2. It's only sealed with silicone in that area.

Could be your oil pressure gauge sending unit also.

Just did the intake manifold gasket on my 95 z28. it was leaking pretty bad but now there isn't even a single drop on the floor in my garage. i would recommend doing your oil pressure gauge sending unit while the manifold is off, otherwise it won't be fun to get at later.
