Hidden oil leak 2009 Cobalt
Hey all,
Massive might be an over statement, but its a steady drip while the engine is running! coming from the exhaust side, back corner of the motor. its not the valve cover, as I just replaced that and it is dry. My guess is its the head gasket, but no matter which way I twist my neck and eyes, using a mirror or not, I can not get a good view of where it is actually coming from. But its a steady drip that comes down between the back of the motor and the transmission. Are these known for head gaskets leaking oil? is there something else on that back corner that oil could possibly be leaking from? I cant see any other possibilities, yet I cant get an actual visual, so I dont want to assume. Anybody else have experience with oil leaks there? thanks!
