Useless poll! Does you lt1 leak?
Lt1s and leaks are like hotdogs and mustard. So, let's see what the ratio for leaky LT1s to non leaky ones is.

Re: Useless poll! Does you lt1 leak?
Mine never leaked.. But perhaps I should of given it more time between tearing the engine down repeatedly.. We did dimple the intake when we had it off so it would be less likely to ever leak (old school trick).

Re: Useless poll! Does you lt1 leak?
Yep, I have a fairly small oil leak. Not sure if it's my dinged-up oil pan or if it's just a gasket. Either way, I noticed the leak's getting a little bigger, because I'm starting to smell the burning oil and the puddles are a lot bigger than they were when I bought it in October. Kinda sucks, but then again, I'm only going to be driving it for a few more weeks. Then it'll be my brother's problem.

Re: Useless poll! Does you lt1 leak?
My old one leaked from the intake....dimpled and fixed....

Leaked a little from the timing chain cover after heads/cam swap due to faulty operator skills...

Ah....how I don't miss working on that car...

My intake leaks, but it doesn't drip onto the ground. I'll solve that for whenever I do a cam swap.
