Pics are not good. What oil do you use? This is either extremely used up ATF( its not red) or a hydraulic system leak. A quart low is -25% !!!

Might be an engine oil leak from the back of the block up high, like the valve cover, oil pressure sensor, valley cover, etc. ATF is red, that oil looks like engine oil.

Did recently swap out the cam sensor and oil pressure sensor a few months back, and the engine shakes because of the big cam inside, Ima pull the ls6 intake and check everything, thanks guys.

So tomorrow I'll finally have time to pull the intake, what does the oil pressure sensor threads need to keep it from leaking?
