Leaking Oil/Rough Idle
Hey guys,
It's been a while since I've been on here and posted and asked questions about my truck and here I go again! Sorry! LOL
My truck is still leaking oil and rough idling. I have had my valve covers replaced and my rear main seal as well. When I'm driving, I can smell burning oil and after a couple days, my check oil light will come on and I just have to add about half a quart and it will be fine for another couple days after that. I have had my mechanics at work look at it, and they can't physically see where the oil is leaking from, but after I drive it, even just for a couple minutes, when I park, I see oil on the ground. Also, when I'm driving, my air nor heater will be on, but there is warm air blowing from the vents, the faster I go, the more it blows.
Also, when I start the vehicle, it takes some time to start itself up, as if it's lagging or a sticky starter. Now, I know it's not the starter, but what else could it be?!
Is this a common problem on your vehicles, and if so, what and how do I fix this and what could be the problem?
I appreciate the time to look at this thread and I really hope that somebody, anybody, can help me!

As for the rough idle can also be a number of things, but first check all vacuum connections and make sure there is no leak. Is the engine throwing a CEL? If so, it'll provide some more clues. If vacuum connections are set, then check/replace plugs and wires (if it hasn't been done within the last 60k). Rough idle plus a lean CEL usually points towards vacuum leak.
