Default L98
I just rebuild my 1989 L98 motor. Beefed up the cam and added roller rockers. I'm trying to stop the L98 leak. It seem to be coming from the from around the from and back of the oil pan. Replace the oil pan with the new gasket (one peice) but still leak. Looking for the a sure fix to stopping the leak.

Are you sure the leak is not coming from the rear main seal?

When I had a leak at the rear of my intake on my L98, it dripped down around the rear of the oil pan and I initially thought it was the rear main seal.

Good point, it could possibly be coming from the rear of the intake manifold, it will take some investigating to find it.
