There is an O ring on the distributor shaft that can leak but look how clean the tranny is.

There are some sensors on the side of the head under the distributor... you might check if one of those are leaking but I don't think any of those are oil related...

- Sat Aug 08, 2009 5:55 pm #136734 mINES DID THAT BCUZ OF THE VALVE COVER GASKET. ON A Z6. ONE OF THE BOLTS TO HOLD THE VALVE COVER WERE STRIPPED SO NOT MUCH HOLDING DOWN POWER THERE. SOOOOOOOOO IM LOOKIN AND TO BE THE O-RING OF THE DIZZY SEEMS A BIT FAR. SO DO THIS..

CLEAN THE AREA .. GOOD. ..

TURN ENGINE ON. AND REV FROM THE ENGINE BAY. DONT REDLINE THE ENGINE, JUST GIVE IT SOME STEADY REVVIN AND WATCH.. SEE WHERE IT'S COMING FROM. LOOKS LIKE A HEAD GASKET, BUT U WOULD SEE OIL AND COOLANT MIX RIGHT TEAL?...
