PLease HELP my OIL leak!
okay heres the situation. i have a 94 z28 with 122000 miles and the opti just went bad. replaced the opti, wires, and plugs(first for everything). while i was in there i replaced the timing chain gasket and the front seals. now when i start up the car and it runs for a while there is a drip. i can see it is not the front main but there is oil coming down the back of the opti. the drip seems to get more severe with increased rpms. not sure if its the opti seal or water pump seal. with discripton which one is most likely the cause. all i know is after reading here i know i don't want a leak on the opti. any ideas would be great. thanks.

all right got it fixed did a search here and saw a lot of people with similar issues. also did an internet search and found this site http://www.impalasuperstore.com/nais...TOPIC_ID=30984 this is a step by step how to with pictures also shows how to make a special tool for the water pump shaft seal which seems to be the major PIA and source of the leaks. hope this helps someone else.
