Oil leaks. Be honest,how many of you guys engines dont leak any oil? Please chime in!
Everyone please reply if you've ever been under your car. I seem to have never had an engine that doesnt leak oil from somewhere and was wondering if there are ANY of you guys engines that doesnt leak oil from somewhere. My LT1 leaks out of the rear main I believe but its so hard to tell where the oil is coming from on these engines. Even if your engine only leaks a small film or a few drops a month I still want to hear about it because that is hard to achieve. If it leaks a quart a week I want to hear about it! So post away! I want to know! Thanks!

^ I think thats about the norm for these cars. Mine is leaving 2-3 quarter size drops when I turn it off near where the tranny starts. I have to put cardboard down where I park in the garage. I think its impossible to have an engine that is completely leak free.

My 93 Z with 127K started leaking after I sprayed degreaser onthe underside then powerwashed it off. It was a steady drip drip drip. I droped the motor and trans and Im replacing every gasket on the engine including the rear main seal and front seals, trans pump seal, and pan, tail shaft seal. Hope it works.
