1990 ZR1 oil leak???
I recently purchased a 1990 ZR1. Has about 43,000 miles. I noticed what appears to be dried out oil in the area below the oil filter. Any thoughts as to what this may have come from or was the previous owner just sloppy during a filter change. I don't see anything coming out around the heads, just in the front right corner.
Any ideas?? Thanks |

Could be a sloppy owner when removing the filter, could also be a bad oil pressure sensor that has since been replaced.

I agree with Jeff as to the two most likely reasons. Get in there and clean everything up when you change the oil & filter and see if anything is leaking.
