Default Oil on bumper cover

The car is getting some oil on the bumper cover after running it a while, nothing excessive but very annoying on the ight color.

Mods are in sig. It has stock pcv setup on it and from what I have seen this may be the cause of it. Or the stock bottom may be about to take a ****.

Also the car still runs as strong as ever, pulled 130 in the 1/4 at Bristol this past weekend.

Do a leakage check on the cylinders.

My C5 did that too when the diff leaked. Little oil droplets all over the rear end.

I guess I clean my car way to much.
A leaky diff can definatly cause it.

There is a number of possible causes I have seen trany leaks and diff leak and I have seen the motors blowing oil out of breathers. But if you don't have a breather then I would look at all the other options and a big help will be to get under your car and look for the wet spot and that will usually lead to the cause. If you are preasuring up the crank case because of a motor issue the seals can leak just not real comon until the problem gets real bad. Do you have a check valve in you PVC system for when you are under boost? If not better get on that the factory PVC valves are not very good at that.

I talked with ECS today about getting a valve cap breather and a catch can. They think this will help out a great deal.

Just wanted to get a few opinions on here. I will get under the car tomorrow to ensure there is no rear differential leakage.
