[Freebeer187]

Not lim (I hope) No milky oil. Has second gen hasket. Appears to be lower than a lim

Giving about a dime to quarter sized drop over 12 hours of sitting. Any suggestions? Common areas for leaking?

front or rear of the lim. the ends need silicon where the gaskets meet. the leak may be coming from the V of the engine.

Is it driver or passenger side?

If not my guess is valve cover.

oil pan gasket?

Well a few weeks ago I took some cleaner and hose to my engine bay (engine had not been turned on for 15+ hours).

I cleaned a bunch of areas which has large amounts of gunk/oil builed up. It would greatly help if I have pictures though.

On the passenger side, the tip of the V appears to be alright.

One thing that I have always noticed is near the valve covers, there are oil pools on the S/C. They have always been there and I wasnt able to get them out with the hose.

I have not looked closely at the driver side. But for the most part I think the pools on the bottom of the S/C could be the culprit.

Possibly. I need a nice day to hop under the car and take a look. Difficult to replace?
