I was thinking the back of the intake myself. Just like mentioned above I do not use the skinny rubber gaskets for the front or back of the intake. Instead a use a bead a sealant and pay special attention to the corners.
Sometimes the use of crappy cheap aftemarket valve covers can cause leaks too. Also verify no oil pressure gauge nylon lines aren't causing the leak. |

The leak is actually coming from where the head meets the block, down by the exhaust port. Its coming from nowhere near the intake. It is not pressurized, just running out. I think it may have something to do with the head gasket that was used. The gasket was .058 compressed, a bit thick, so I geuss we'll try retorqing first, and if the heads need to come off then so be it. Thanks for your replies.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
