There are some seals that are around the bottom of the knock sensor mounting bosses. Remove the valley cover and replace the seals. They are a very hard rubber that gets brittle over time...

I was the one that helped him with the removal and replacement of the intake...
I noticed the seals were pretty hard, so I RTV'd them to the lifter valley in hopes of sealing them better.
Does anyone else have any ideas on WHY there is so much oil under the intake. It just dosnt seem like oil should be under there. I mean its not like a true lifter valley on a SBC. Damn LSx motors.. I think Ill stick to my LT1!

How about getting a LS-6 valley cover & do the PCV mod in there at the same time? It can be found at www.ls1howto.com
You'll get all the gaskets & seals needed new with the cover.
The oil will still mist & collect in that portion of the engine. Do you have an oil consumption issue also?
