Oil pan gasket leak?

Just got the gasket replaced a few months back. Looks like I'll be giving them a call if it's really the pan gasket

can be one or more of the following:
- engine pan gasket
- engine rear main seal,
- engine cam sensor o-ring (LS1/6).

I know the feeling, mine is leaking at the front of my Ls3 and I think I may have to pull the motor to get it changed

Try torqueing the two long pan bolts in the back that go into the rear cover. They're low torque, 107 inch/lbs I think.

Probably a good guess. I have the same issue, but mine is leaking front and rear. I am dreading having to change it. There is a thread somewhere that gives a walk through on doing the gasket without pulling motor.
