If it was from the valve covers wouldnt the oil gather onto the exhaust manifold. Its not the oil pan bolts as I thought yesterday. The leak is high up I would imagine it would have to be coming from the drivers side of the intake. But would I be able to see it thats my question. Thanks Larry
There is a special dye that will show up under black light and reveal the source of a leak. Go to Waikem Chrysler Jeep or any other Mopar dealer and purchase a bottle of part number 05010042AA 4-IN-1 Blacklight Dye. Add it to the engine oil. You may want to take the car to a car wash and clean the motor off before you do this test.

Go to Spencer's Gifts, 4100 Belden Mall NW, North Canton, OH 44720
(330) 494-7859 and purchase a black light bulb for your trouble light. At night, you will be able to see the engine oil on the outside of the motor as a bright yellow leak.

It works in coolant and atf too.
