Hey all, while driving my Ranger I noticed the smell of burning oil. Crawling underneath, I can see where oil is dripping onto the exhaust. Following the leak, I noticed on the top side of the engine that oil is pooling around where the distributor goes in. Anyone have experience with this?
If it helps, I just did a head gasket on the truck. The gasket set came with cork valve cover gaskets, which were my prime suspect. However, I felt around the rear of the valve cover where it mates to the head and its dry. I did however feel down by the intake manifold on the back of the engine and it is wet with oil.
Am I looking at my culprit? Could oil be leaking from the intake??
Thanks
Daniel
