Looks like a bad head gasket. Not real familiar with the eco layout but that is just a WAG.

just cause he doesnt have the 3400 doesnt mean it cant happen though...i would take it to a dealership and get it checked out soon.

"looks like you got the leak" :lol: Yup that ol' ECOTEC has the lower intake manifold leak...

BTW, the links to images 4 5 & 6 all link to image 3.

As for the problem, who knows. Doesnt look like the headgasket to me, it looks like the oil is actually coming from somewhere lower down on the engine. Bring it in to the dealership, and check the oil often; you don't want to drive anywhere with no oil in the pan :P

Well, I'm not familiar with the eco either but here is my visual take on it. Perhaps Final will be so good as to point out my short comings. And why it is not a head gasket leak?

We're all entitled to our opinions, I don't think it's a headgasket leak that's all...
