I have a 416 LS3, but run the stock LS1 batwing oil pan. I can drive this car all over, and it never leaks, but as soon as I lay into it, I get oil all over the oil pan and it drips off the back of the pan in 4 spots. The area under the pulley is dry, so its not the front seal. it seems to be all over the bottom of the "wing" part of the pan, so I doubt its the rear main. There is no oil on top, so i dont think its the OPS unit. Has anyone had problems with the gaskets on the wing part of the pan letting go? I have a vented catch can, so I dont know if its just the crank case pressure shoving the oil out. Im lost and its annoying as hell.....Ideas?

Its a 2002 Corvette MN6

I had a similar issue and it turned out to be the o ring on the dipstick that had rotted out and was letting oil come out at WOT. It also baffled me at first being that i had replaced all the gaskets on this motor!!!!!
