My 99' z28 was already leaking oil when I purchased it from previous owner.

He had the rear main/clutch replaced at 122k miles at a local shop(have receipt).

I'm at 137k miles now


I've already replaced the following:


- OPSU

- Cam sensor

- Valve cover gaskets

- Intake manifold gaskets

- Valley cover gasket


Just last week I had the oil pan gasket replaced and it still leaks oil from the passenger side area right above the starter.

I've checked behind the intake,valve covers, around the whole oil pan and everything is bone dry besides the right rear corner of oil pan. (pictured below)






any ideas????

Bro that is NOT a leak. Don't even worry about it. Thats a seep at BEST. Your gonna cause more problems tryin to "fix" something like that. TRUST ME. I work on Camaros and Vettes all day and 9 out of 10 leak FAR worse than that.

Where do they leak from specifically?

thinking maybe they didnt put rtv where the oilpan/rear cover meet.

you should always put rtv on seams..i learned that the hard way.

^^^ I've been thinking the same thing too.

I made sure the mechanic used RTV around the oil pan but who knows if it was applied on the bottom corners of rear cover when rear main was replaced.
