I guess it wouldn't be a ZR-1 without an oil leak.
Parked inside since the weekend, and I took a look at her today. Found a nice puddle under the front of the engine. It already has Jerrys oil cooler lines, so I doubt it is that. Was pretty dark too, so I'll have to check again in the AM.
Only thing I can imagine is engine oil, or PS fluid?

Check oil pump access cover and cam sensor seal. I had both happening at the same time.

Are they easily repairable, or is it a special part required, otherwise known as another Jerrys order?

Could be.
I'll know more tomorrow. What's on the passenger side?

Re: I guess it wouldn't be a ZR-1 without an oil leak.
On the oil filter housing facing forward low an hidden - oil temp sensor
On top of oil filter housing - oil pressure sensor Right side of filter housing facing down - low oil pressure warning sensor Under and behind low oil pressure sensor - cam chain tensioner port Above oil pan - crankshaft sensor Under the crankshaft sensor, on the oil pan - low oil level sensor Of course, oil pan gasket can be a source of oil leak also. Oil leak can be any of above or combination of above locations. |
