Answer - Finding 350 Chev Oil LeakI don't really have enough information (i.e. what make/model? What gaskets did you replace? Etc.) to adequately answer your question. However, maybe I can steer you in the right direction.The source of an oil leak can be difficult to discover. 1st - You may actually have a bent oil pan that is leaking. 2nd - 350 GM engines tend to be mounted on their frames with the front higher than the rear. This causes oil to pool at the back of the rocker cover - a source of potential leak. 3rd - The oil pressure sending unit located at the back of the engine can fail - this can cause anything from a small leak to something that resembles a water hose leak (Be sure to check for this one!). 4th - Could be the rear main crankshaft engine seal. 5th, 6th 7th - the list can go on and on.The first and smartest thing that you can do is to buy a can of engine degreaser and head to your nearest coin car wash. According to the directions on the can (or your service manual), clean the engine thoroughly, top and bottom. Then drive a very short distance, shut the car off and do a safe and thorough inspection from above and below. Chances are very good that you will find your leak. Furthermore, you might be pleasantly surprised at how nice your engine compartment looks. And the repair job (whether you do it or farm it out) will be easier and more pleasant to perform if you start with a clean engine. Hope this helps. Good Luck, Eddie

Your antifreeze keeps running out of your 95 beretta but there are no leaks any ideas?

Take a look at the oil dipstick, is it milky? Is there white smoke coming out the tail pipe? May be leaking internally. If your beretta has a v-6 odds are that your intake manifold gaskets are leaking these gaskets are plastic and must be replaced periodically your antifreeze is most likely leaking there and burning off immediately thus you'll see no leak.I recommend youy take the car to a shop for diagnosis...

There is smoke coming from under your hood from the engine itself what could be causing the problem?

Most of the time it is because of leaking valve cover gaskets that drip oil on the hot exhaust manifolds.This is common on many cars.Mark.


When your driver side of the engine is smoking what do it means?

It's difficult to say, without seeing where under the hood it's coming from. You could have a bad exhaust manifold gasket, leaking exhaust. You could have valve cover gaskets leaking or seeping oil, which would drain onto the hot exhaust manifold, and burn off... If you can provide more information on where the smoke is coming from, there may be a better answer.
