Also, did you do anything with your vacuum lines behind the manifold?

This was the kit but looks like they're out of stock now.

All the lines are still back there just added a bit longer length to the little vacuum line for flexibility when moving the intake around.

The problem removing intake, hose break so when replacing you have to make some hoses and connectors for vacuums, that are no long available. When can sensor replacement in the Tampa Fl area, found a mechanic at a tire repair and sales shop. He did the work I replaced the original spark plugs about3 years ago on my 98. I was impressed with his knowledge. Now if he only knew removing dash to install doorman temp doors both sides.

Same here RFPegram. Used the same tools and followed the UTube instructions. The whole process took less then 45 minutes from start to finish.

Thanks for all the information in this thread. I think this might be exactly what I’m dealing with. I recently pulled the plastic covers off my C5 and noticed some oil pooling behind the intake, which seems consistent with what people here are describing.

I’m going to try replacing the oil pressure sensor soon and see if that takes care of the leak. I appreciate everyone sharing their experience and tips in here — definitely helpful for someone new to the platform.

I’ll report back once I get it swapped out.
