05 base model Vibe. been fighting oil leaks for 10 years.Changed everything imaginable. I give up. I don,t care if the car slides on oil slick and gets demolished. I quit. !#@5^&.

Sry to hear about the ongoing issues. I wish I could offer some specific guidance. There are some Vibe guru's like Barry Gage in ND(don't have his email but know he is on facebook) and Brett Hardy in MI (thevibenut@gmail.com) that might be able to offer some input.

Try to not give up although I know what you've gone through. When I troubleshot my 2004 Vibe Gt for it's oil leak, I had a lift available, a "snake" camera, and time. It took several attempts but I eventually pinpointed the leak. My engine has the Yamaha head on it and the three points that meet (block, head, timing chain cover) is where my leak was at. What started as a very minor leak at around 140k miles, progressively got worse until I got tired of putting something under the car every time I parked it. That may have been some 15k more miles roughly. Don't give up

Yeah, good luck. I got lucky with my leaks, one at the tensionser, one at the front pulley, both easy to get to.
