Hi I just purchased a 91 legacy turbo and i am noticing a small oil leak from somewhere just above the exuast on the front park of the engine and it leaks from there onto the exhaust crating a small amount of smoke smell of burnt oil. It only seams to leak when i am heavy oin the gas pedal. Do you guys know what it could be? had the same problem?

It's probably the valve cover gasket.

I have the same problem. You get the smell of burning oil and the smoke rising out from the hood? Im going to fix this soon as its starting to get worse.

It could also be the crank/cam seals.

Mine leaks there too, and so does my brother's SS... I'm going to fix that and most of my leaks one of these days.
