'93 2.8 oil leaks
What areas are the sources for oil leaks on a 2.8. I've replaced the valve cover gaskets, but after driving a while it smells like oil burning under the hood.

Re: '93 2.8 oil leaks
Another common area is the distributor, the oring gets hard over the years and starts leaking. You can tell this if you see oil dripping on the middle of your y-pipe.

Re: '93 2.8 oil leaks
I have to agree with Datchevy2.8. The two most common places that would leak over time are the distributor along with the valve covers. If oil loss occurs, check the valve covers again for even torque and make sure you put your bolts on in a zig zag pattern.
