I tried that one too when my ma had her Olds Delta 88. I wanted so bad to put a 454 with a rebuilt overdrive in place of that 307, but my dad wasn't buying it; glad he didn't because we got a better car now. Now if I can just convince him to let me build that Lightning motor for the CV.

I would suggest cleaning the surrounding area of suspicion really good so you can pinpoint the source. i highly doubt your leaking oil through your exhaust manifolds, most likely the valve covers. when was your last oil change?Give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will promptly forget that he once did not know, and proceed to call anyone who asks, a n00b and flame them on the boards for being stupid.
