Engine Leak
I will post picture soon. But heres the problem.
I was cleaning my engine bay the other day and I notices that there seems to be some sort of leak on the engine block. There is a bunch of build up and grime. Again I will post pictures soon. Just wanted to see if anyone else has a similar issue and what it may be. |

If it's like mid driver side area it's just engine oil seap totally normal but makes a new engine look much older.

It's extremely common. But a pic will help identify if it is abnormal. GM won't fix it unless it's dripping. They consider seepage to be normal.

Is it something I need to have fixed? Or will it continue to do it even if I get it fixed?
