Oil Leak Source Hey guys, I have had oil on my garage floor for months now, and I had a guy here in Georgia (Matt at MK Performance) diagnose it as fluid coming from the AC. So we gutted the AC since I wanted more power anyway.
I still have oil on the garage floor. I am hoping Matt doesn't charge me for this again since the initial problem has not been resolved. I cannot trace the leak unless it's on a lift.
What are some possible sources with an LS1 motor with 13k miles on it?
Oh, by the way, I am an old timer (1ScrudeDude) but had to use a new screename to get back on here.
Thanks for you .02....

Expensive to correct?

I'm at 505/505 to the wheels before !AC with the 100 shot. If I had more $$, you bet I would put a bigger stick in there with a new tune!
Thanks Brad, at least I know this won't break my bank. I'm hoping that I don't get charged at all since I think the dude missed it the first time around.

i have just noticed the same thing,
the oil pan looks moist but there was a drip on the bottom of the a/c compressor.
cleaned the pan( which really was nothing at all ) and i'm doing an oil change on saturday, so i am going to recheck.
also right front of the car, about a quarter sized drop, built up after about a weeks time.
wtf
