Oil Leak - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

dan1495 · 04-22-2012

I have been chasing an oil leak on my 58,000 mile 90 that has gradually been getting worse. The oil pan is dry everywhere except at the front of the engine. Yesterday I removed the two chassis braces and took out both front corner pan bolts (one of which was not very tight) and put sealant on them before putting them back in. I also tightend the three smaller front bolts.

My efforts were rewaded by the leak now being worse than it was before. Is there anything else at the front of the engine I need to be looking for?
If I need to replace the pan gasket, how do you get to the 3 front bolts?

Thanks.
