    Did you put a dab of RTV in the "V" notch where the valve cover, LIM and cylinder head meet?

        Just a little dab will do ya. Yeah, I've been stung by this leak before. Also, make sure to replace the breather/pcv grommets with Delco parts to help seal things up.

          Are those grommets available thru GM dealer? I would not have thought that they would still be available. Anywhere else they sell them?.......Tom

            The last time I got some, it was about a year ago, they were still available. Hopefully your local parts guy knows his stuff and doesn't argue with you about needing your VIN to look shit up. That crap aggravates me so much!
