Most likely the Oil pump O-ring. $3 part at most dealers. From what I understand, it's a bit more difficult on the 3100's vs. the 3.1's. I'd ask Heza. He's done it, I believe. It may be a slow leak now, but once that bastard finally goes.. :shock:

It's a 30 minute to an hour job on the 3.1. On the 3100 you have to remove the intake plenum and more shit if I remember correctly. Hopefully a 3100 owner will come along here and shed some light on this.
