I just purchased a 95 ZR1. I noticed some oil pooling in the narrow pockets in between the intake and valve cover. I am fairly sure the oil is not coming from the valve covers but looks to be coming from the area where the lower intake runners mate with the intake manifold. I cleaned all the oil out and only running the car to warm it up seems to be enough where more oil is finding its way there. To replace this gasket looks like a major PITA. Is this a common problem?

Does anyone know of a person in the Atlanta GA area that is familiar with these cars that does good work?

Thanks.
