Did you (whoever built the engine) use the supplied rubber gaskets for the block ends? If so, you may want to remove them and use a nice bead of Silicone Gasket maker for those, and tie into the intake gaskets as well. Those rubber gaskets like to leak badly. Just be sure NOT to use anything on the actual intake gasket whether intake side or head side and you should be good to go.

They are gaskets under your valve covers that keep oil from leaking out.


Why would there be coolant leaking into the oil in a 1995 Gran am?

I'm assuming your grand am has a 3400 v6 which are known for intake and head gaskets leaking. so its possible that one of those gaskets are leaking so bad that coolant is leaking from intake/heads down onto your valvetrain and then down into your oil pan. more than likely its your intake gaskets leaking.

95 Z28 LT1 Do you have to replace both head gaskets because it's got aluminum heads Heard you have to replace both sides as heads have to be ground?

Heads do not have to be ground because they are aluminum. If you're taking both heads off then you need 2 new gaskets. It's not a bad Idea to replace both if one is leaking though because the other one might not be far behind.

Leaking 2 qts oe oil a day?

You have not said what engine you have, but if you have the 3.0L V6 (made for Chrysler by Mitsubishi), the most like problems are (1) vavle cover gaskets leaking, (2) camshaft seals leaking at the "front" of the engine (facing the passenger side), (3) camshaft seal caps (at the end of the valve covers facing the passenger side), and (4) a loose (or wrong application) oil filter. The oil pan gasket could be leaking too, but not as likely as the top side. You could use thicker oil (such as straight 30 weight oil)!
