Yelcab1,
Thanks for the tips. I've read that oil dripping from the rear drivers side could indicate the IMS starting to fail. I've rebuilt a few engines but my experience is rusty. My thought was that given that its not in the area of the flywheel that it was likely something else. But i wanted to be sure. My experience is with the 70's area of air cooled motors and modern chevy's.

Still sound advice.

I still need to get a service manual for the car. I just haven't gotten around to it. It sounds like repairing the oil leak wont be too bad to do. its something ill plan to do with my next oil change. It barely leaks (like a couple of drops after a day out sitting over night) So it should be fine until then.

Thank you for your assistance.
