Default Re: Oil leak

I'd suggest starting with a check of your exhaust manifold studs Lorne.
A common issue with a simple fix - check item #20 here: http://www.zr1netregistry.com/ZR1_issues.htm#20

My bet is on the Oil Cooler Hoses.
Check where the metal portion is crimped to the rubber part of the hoses.

Sounds like oil cooler hoses to me. I had the exact problem. Good luck changing them. I don't there is any way you can change those without making a mess, no matter how many rags you use.
