I currently own a 97 Camaro Z28 30th anniversary with 88k miles. It's leaking oil somewhere in the front end of the engine. I've seen the drip of oil the car leaves on the pavement and it seems as if it's not to big but who knows.
Here are the only pictures I could get from the front bottom end of the car.
I just want to get the car fix from whatever it is it has.
My advice to you is buy the Felpro timing chain cover kit and replace all the seals that came in the kit. My guess is it's your WP drive seal and front main seal.
But while your in there you might as well replace any seals you can access. [/QUOTE]

Can you give me the link to the kit?
Also, can you name all of them seals and gaskets I should change while I'm in there. I checked around the valve covers where they meet th heads and no oil leaks seem to be there.
Water pump seal, opti seal, hub seal, crank sensor o-ring, timing cover gasket, oil pan gasket, power steering lines are probably leaking, intake manifold. Probably a combination of all those put together. Lol

I doubt the power steering lines are leaking because I haven't had a problem with the power steering. The power steering fluid level is okay. I checked the back of the intake manifold by the firewall area and nothing but dirt lol.
I can get most of these gaskets and seals at AZ right?
The gasket kit is $10 from advance, opti seal is easy, crank hub is a PITA to remove, but the 3 jaw from advance with the lifetime warranty and a couple light taps from a ball peen hammer broke it free.
This is what the kit looks like, you can get it at advance or vatozone.
As many of us know, the LT-1 can be a "leaker". My suggestion would be to get a parts cleaning brush, and a jug of Simple Green, and clean off all of the oil and dirt. That way you can A) isolate the leak; and B) get the dirt off, so it doesn't get into the engine while it's apart. Don't use high pressure water to rinse it down. Just the garden hose, at a LOW pressure.
