Second time I've heard of this leak. Thanks for posting a problem solution. Too often, all we get to hear about is the problem and the recommended fixes only.

I looked up page 6a2a-6 #423 and couldn't determine exactly where this cover plate is located on the engine. Can you please provide a few more details or maybe even a photo?
Thanks for sharing this with the group.

Did you have to remove anything to get to it?

I have a leak too, but haven't gotten to it yet. It bothers the heck out of me, but I don't know enough about the LT5 and don't want to screw anything up!

I'm with Dan, do you have to remove anything to get to it?

thanks!
