      [size=5]This J35Z1, V6 3.5L, has a oil leak below intake manifold at the very bottom of the void, sitting on top the engine. I cleaned the PCV valve and cleaned it. Has anyone seen this type of leak before?

        I have and it’s normally the result of spilling oil on the engine after an oil change. I’d recommend you lean the area and then recheck for the leak.

          I changed the PCV valve and cleaned below the Intake Manifold.

              I changed to conventional oil, and at 3,ooo miles the leak is about at the half way mark on the dip stick. I can live with it.
