Re: Rear main puking oil?
There’s one in every forum. Check the VIN, car 514. On another matter it was the rear main seal. Tore it apart today.

That stinks. Guess the seller "forgot" to mention that detail. What is the mileage on the car? Welcome!  Marty |

would be joining us. Glad to have them. For their benefit, I think a separate section would be appropriate in General, Technical & For Sale would be helpful. example C4 ZR-1 Technical Postings, C6 ZR1 Technical Postings & C7 ZR1 Technical Postings.

Re: Rear main puking oil?
If other Z's are to be included, please make sure they are properly separated in all topics/genres. C4 Z-related posts will drown, I assure you. But as long as there's still a "today's posts" which only contains C4-related topics, I'll keep my complaints to an absolute minimum.

Re: Rear main puking oil?
To me the allure of this forum is its specificity to the C4 ZR-1 and it's unique attributes.

Re: Rear main puking oil?
I'm guessing that the rear main seal, which is the most difficult item to replace is also the least likely cause. Here is what I would look for:
- Is the oil level too high? Check it 10 minutes after shutting the engine off. *Not* before starting it cold. - The oil cooler is back there. Leaky connection? It's easy to service. - The hoses to and from the dry sump tank are back there. Road damage? - Loose oil filter? I hope that you get lucky. BTW Hib. Did you install your rear main seal?
