- I have the same problem on my 5.0L Monte SS. I've been told it can be worn
- valve guides (which I couldn't fix myself, missing proper tools, missing proper
- knowhow). I'd like to followup on the oil return-line leakage as it may be
- something I can fix.
-
- Where can I find the oil return-line? How can I easily test it to see if it
- leaks (observation of oil?)? How can I test it to see if it is plugged or
- restricted?
-
- Thanks for any help
