Hi Guys, back to square one. Where can oil leak just sitting , I see drops forming on the oil pan, isn't all the oil in the pan and below the gasket line when its just sitting. this is still leaking after a week of not driving, I would think it would stop by then..

Oil can certainly run down slowly over time from leaky valve cover gaskets.

Hum.. I checked the passenger front side, I'll have to take a closer look at the drivers side, that's where it's dripping from.
Maybe I'll get lucky.
Thanks Patrick

send a picture of the leak. our 88 had a mystery oil leak we ended up fixing but hope it ain't what ours was.

2 things. leaking intake China walls (where Lower intake meets block) and the sensor by the pulleys was spraying oil onto the intake and it would pool and then slowly drip over until I replaced the 87 sensor with a 88 like it was supposed to be.
honestly though just clean everything and it should be easier to see exactly where it's new leak is

Thanks, I need to get it on a lift at this point, I looked at the front valve cover again and can't find anything.
The front of the block is clean too..

From above I looked at rear of the block, the top of the oil pan is all wet with oil, but nothing above it on the block.
So getting closer...

If this were my vehicle I would probably get under it and spend a bit of time to wipe all of the oil off of the area where the pan meets the block and then go over it again with another rag until I was satisfied that I didn't see any areas of oil remaining, then take it for a short ride and upon returning home get back under it and reinspect for anything obvious. You may well need a new gasket rather than chasing other possibilities.
My motor was rebuilt and has less than 4000 miles on it and I've had to have the oil pan and trans pan gaskets replaced already.
Good luck - I hope you can find that leak!
