Help identifying oil leak..
Yes this is a loaded question ... hah. Just had complete transmission rebuild, new clutch, main seal, valve cover gaskets and couple other small things. Still a small leak when sitting in garage and while driving. Seems to be on drivers side near the front of valve cover. Drips onto heat exchanger.. Any help on where to start looking, would be appreciated. Cheers.

If oil is dripping down between your head(s) and cylinder you could have broken head studs or pulled head studs. You didn't mention your year car and 911 (NA or turbo) Matt |
