First time on this forum. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just had a cylinder head replaced on my 1994 2.3L Grand Am and it is now spewing oil all over the accessory drive end of the engine. The serpentine belt, alternator, underhood insulation, etc. are all soaked with oil. My "friend" who did the job told me that I'm on my own. Does anybody have any idea what I should look for? (beside a new friend?)Thank you

Check the valve cover gasket. I'm not sure about this specific one, but some of them come in a couple pieces and also have individual rubber pieces at each end of the valve cover. If this one is like that, then your "friend" may have not gotten it placed quite right over the front of your engine. That would be enough to leak a significant amount of oil down the front of your engine.
