Plants love oil anyways.

Pretty much what it is. The whole seam is wet, but doesn't drip. And if it does, it must do it once a week because I've never noticed oil stains.

get under the car. wipe it clean with a rag, then spray it all down with brake cleaner. then a day or so later see whats wet, and where.

take the plastic inspection cover off too and clean that. it is wet inside, the rear is likely leaking.

Will degreaser work?

I like how this was a thread that was supposed to be about final preparations for my LIM gasket and now it's turned into a totally different topic. From what I've heard, this is normal

I don't see a point so I'll leave it open lol.

Well no luck on the TB hose. Junkyard didn't have any that I saw. Then again, I only looked in the Pontiac part, will have to check the Buick and Chevy sections later this week. But every GP motor I found didn't have one. Must be a pretty common problem for them to break that easily.

i told you how to fix the lines for under 3 bucks. now go re read your own thread lol
