- - Oil Leaks (http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=24237)

I just purchased a 91 ZR-1. There appears to be multiple oil leaks. The car has about 46,000 miles and other wise in great shape. Are oil leaks "normal" for ZR-1's?. I live in the Sacramento area of California. Anyone know of a place in Northern California I could trust to examine the oil leak issues?

NO....Oil Leaks are NOT normal when maintained just a bit as cited in the following links. An engine with close to 50K miles and being 24 years since built will develop rather common oil leaks for that age if not maintained. All that is required is checking all bolts and tightening as required or remove bolts and reinstall with blue or red Loctite depending on location of bolt.
