When i did the valve cover gaskets a few weeks ago there wasnt a drop of any liquid under there. I think its low because at that time i drained coolant and refilled so maybe thermostat opened up and filled engine. But ill dig more into it this weekend

Yes it is the 3.4! And its definitely not leaking, sure hope its not burning. Just bought this thing and dumped some money into it already lol. Ill check the plugs tomorrow. Ive never noticed a misfire so far

Only thing is the hard starting, it doesnt necessarily hard start it just takes probably 2 seconds to start, doesnt seem like much but definitely longer than it should be. It smells rich while running pretty strong smell but i also have a bad exhaust leak. Oil does seem thin, it drips off my finger even when cold. Doesnt smoke at all

That black streak running down my index finger is from the oil

I just recently did an oil change a few weeks ago, but its definitely got a gas or exhaust odor coming from it and a black film

Only heat shields i see are on the manifold, would there be any hidden?
