For Oil leaks on a 12 v 2.8L V6 engine, some info please:
 
My 1993 90CS has oil leaks which I understand are usual for this car.
It has 80,000 miles. I am going to try to fix the leaks. They are:

a) head gaskets leak
b) valve cover gaskets leak
c) Oil pan gaskets leak

Once these are fixed with new gaskets will they start leaking again? After how many miles?

What does it leak -oil?-and what is the gasket called to replace it?

The head gaskets will once again leak oil in 20K to 30K miles, because the headbolts stretch/loosen.

What about the rear-main seal? (between engine and transmission) ? Apparently mine has a tiny leak.
 
Is this a very big job to fix?

Then the flywheel/flexplate to be removed.

Re: Yeah..leaks oil...get an intake manifold gasket set and you'll be all set.

Is RaceWare a manufacturer that makes aftermarket gaskets? Are they better than the stock gaskets?

Where can I find them?
