I just bought car #90. It seems to be a pretty good car. It has a bad oil leak. Has any one else had the back of the intake leak. The car only has 60,000 miles on it. Is there any F-body shows in the south east coming up?

Congrats. As for the oil leak, pretty common. Just take the intake off and clean the mating surfaces real good. Use GM intake gaskets and Permatex Ultra Copper RTV. Once the intake is back on and torque to spec, let it sit for at least 24 hours to cure. Then fire it up and let it get to operating temp, let cool down and retorque the manifold. I've never had a problem with this method. No need for useless wrapping of the EGR tube or what not. Very straight forward. Just take you time.
