i got 2 leaks!! alright so when i bought my car (1996 camaro z28ss) it didnt leak. after having it for about a week it started to leak. i talked to the guy who i bought it from and he says its the "crankshaft positioning sensor." he says he changed the o-ring so it wouldnt leak but seems like that didnt help. i also have a leak coming from the rear end. looks like its coming from the axle. anybody have any thoughts on whats wrong with my car?? need help asap!!! thanks

LT1 leaks are very common on our cars as this motor is prone to them. The CPS leak is an easy fix - just change out the o-ring again but I bet it's coming from some where higher like the WP seal or Opti seal. Look at the timing cover above the crank and see if you see any lines where oil is running down the cover as one of the most common leaks on our cars is the wp seal. As to the axel is it coming out of the shaft where it meets the diff body or is it dripping from the bottom of the cover on the rear? If its the diff cover it's an easy fix by replacing the cover gasket. Let us know and make sure to post up a sig with your car and mod details so we have a better idea of your car.
