What is going on? Where is this motor oil coming from? What is going bad? It is on the front of the engine right behind the water pump. Rock_Sing's Story by Rock_Sing | Photobucket

Prob the end seal on the valley pan. I had some still there from when I ran Mobil 1. Cleaned it last weekend and yet to have it build back up. Hoping using rotella has solved that problem

Cant say for sure, because Im not there, but if I were you I would check your intake manifold gasket. I had a leak there on mine before I did my heads, and during the process I installed a new intake gasket and it was fixed. Hopefully someone else will chime in though for another thought or two on it.

Valley pan gasket and end seal = intake manifold gasket and end seal

Also called a lip seal sometimes. Bolt in center to snug up.

do like buzz said snug up the center bolt there. but best fix would be take the time and go ahead and do whole new valley gasket. FYI rotella on sale at oreilys 5$ off a gallon. 5 gallon bucket 64$ great deal. not sure how long the sale is though.
