3.6l engine. leakes oil from under the intake manifold. Are they any sending units or sensors under the intake that has oil pressure to them? Never seen a valve cover leak that bad.
SOURCE: 1993 saturn SL1
check your spark plug wells for oil build up. A BIG problem with the early saturn's are related to the rubber valve cover gaskets the go around the spark plug wells. I have changed dozens that just ware out.

Normally I would advise exactly how to do a job, but this is one of those tasks that you NEED to buy a haynes manual so you have the correct tightening/torquing sequence, the correct method to set the timing, etc. This can be an involved process, and without the proper illustrations and information, would be homocide to your vehicle's engine to undertake. While you're in there, you'll want to change out the timing chain as well though, FYI.

Hi
Change the PCV valve, that will stop the oil going into the intake and relieve some of the pressure in the valve chamber.. Check your oil level. If it's time for a tune up, don't wait.
Good Luck!!

SOURCE: I have a 2001 Saturn SL1. Its leaking alot of oil.
this is very common. Just replace the sensor. Use a little teflon tape on the threads of the new sensor and don't overtighten. Let me know if you have more questions.
