I have a slight oil leak on a Chevy 350 engine. What would be the most reasonable way to fix the problem?

sorry but the most reasonable way to fix the leak is to find out where it is leaking from and then check options for repair. kinda vague questionI have a slight oil leak on a Chevy 350 engine. What would be the most reasonable way to fix the problem?
Head Gaskets won't give you a oil leak. You will lose oil but it will be combusted, not leak.





You should thoroughly degrease your motor and gearbox so that it is as clean as you can possibly get it, then start it up and look to see where the leak is coming from.





It could be something simple like a fuel pump gasket, or possibly the oil filter is leaking, or something harder to fix like a pan gasket. It could also be a leak from your gearbox, What colour is the oil?





Gaskets aren't dear to buy, but replacing them could be time consuming and expensive. A pan gasket could take around 4 hours to replace.I have a slight oil leak on a Chevy 350 engine. What would be the most reasonable way to fix the problem?
depends you didnt say from where so im guessing its valve cover if thats the case go buy a new gasket set if its oil filter get a new oil flite and screw it on if its rear seal or front seal or oil pan have someone do it
find out where the leak is coming from and... It.s probably a gasket. Replace it. Most common is head gasket or oil pan gasket. You should've mentioned the year and the application.
it depends on where the leak is at. if it,s the valve pan or oil pan gaskets then you might be able to snug up the bolts a little.
what ever you do don't use any think that say stop leak. those sh*ts plug up things that shouldn't be plugged. yes they might stop the leak but in the long run they cause more damage then good
Depends on where the leak is.
Find out where it's leaking from and change that gasket/seal
bars leak works well
