Oil leak

Are our cars known for any particular oil leaks? Finally got my 91 running, took it around the block and it's leaking like a SBC. There's quite a bit of oil dripping off the rack and the frame directly behind that. I can't see exactly where its coming from.

Thanks

I don't know, I've got three of them in my driveway and none of them leak. The valve covers are probably the most notorious for leaking, but I do not think that is so in your case. It sounds like either the oil filter or oil cooler housing, timing chain cover, or possibly the oil pressure sending unit. You are going to have to do some homework to determine the exact origin of the leak.
 
Thanks for the advise. I'm new to these motors and wasn't exactly sure where to look other than the pan, and it looks dry. Now I know where to look.

Thanks
