Leaking oil!!
Hey everyone,
I have come to you guys for help once again.
I just got done doing a head gasket job on my truck, but now it seems to be leaking a good amount of oil coming from around the tranny housing.
I leave a good 4inch puddle every time I'm done driving it.
Any idea where it could be coming from?
I have a 93 v6 3vze motor.
Hopefully I could get some help!
Thanks,
Angelo

Gravity is not your friend; where ever the oil is leaking from, it will head downward until it ends up at ... the transmission housing.
Get some spray engine degreaser and a garden hose. Get the engine clean enough to eat from. Start it, and start looking.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's the back of the valve cover gasket.

Where have you looked and already ruled out? Valve cover gaskets and cam covers come to mind to start.
Get a good de greaser and clean as much as you can, then turn the truck on and try to see where its coming from.
