    I have already replaced the lower intake gasket because that was leaking, and i didn't see any other major leaks. Help?

    LIM don't leak much oil.

    Change your valve cover gaskets.

    It's hard to say it could be leaking from 3 million places. You need to attempt to find the leak. Degrease the bay very good and start isolating the leak. Start with the vc gasket, check the crankseal,

    For 1 dot of oil, there's no way I'd go through the headache of messing with the oil pan gasket. =D

    I agree. How many miles per 2 months? You are talking about 1/4 of a quart or less.

    From what I've seen...

    Blame the valve covers.

    Thanks guys, just washed it up today, and degreased the bay while I was at it. I think it's the valve cover gaskets, and i'll look into it further tomorrow. Posting pictures of her tonight as well.
