    Has anyone experienced oil puddles on top of the manifold (front) on a 350 chevy from a not-sealed good enough manifold?

    I do plan to re-seal teh manifold. But it seems strange to me to have oil puddling at the front from that.

    BTW...the engine is running real good. I'd think if the manifold was not sealed good, there would be other symptoms.

    I think the backfire may be from the slow starting, which I am thinking is due to a weak battery. So, gas gets pushed into the exhaust due to slow start, and when it does start, I get the backfire out the exhaust. I'll know soon on the battery. I have a new one coming.
