A bad one....So I recently changed my MAP sensor, and the cars been running great. In the process I actually found a hole in a vacum line, ANYWAYS, so probobly three or four days went by and I was leaving my buddies house, and I got on it alittle bit (as in using not abusing) and when I got home, which is about 2 miles, smoke started coming up fromt the hood. Make a long story short it was oil. And was leaking from the rear center of the block. My buddy suggested i might have knocked the oil pressure sensor when putting the intake manifold back on and cracked it. He claims it happens a lot for they are brittle.
Now before I take that @$#%!*$ intake back out.....any other suggestions?
Thanks!

I would try to feel around back there, to see if oil is coming from the oil sensor. You could try to snake your way back there and remove the sensor without removing the intake, not sure if it can be done. I've only removed that intake once.
