Just wondering.... Anyone ever have a leaky oil filter? Or any other oil leaks on their Z.

Not me. Like the Sahara desert under there.

No, got the burnin' oil blues, but no leaks...

8,300 miles and bone dry-not a drop Consumption is about 1 Qt per 3,000 miles:cheers:

Probably the most likely leak point would be the LH side differential seal. Seems that is pretty common among all C5s.

I don't know if the diff side seals have ever been redesigned or not. Anyone know for sure?

No leaky here. Drier than a popcorn fart.

No oil leaks, except past the rings. I did have the driver side differential leak, but it's fixed now.

The differential has now started leaking, although oil consumption has for all intents & purposes, ceased-- very little oil use in 1600 miles from 5400mi to 7000mi. This is good...:cheers:

No engine oil leaks here either. Oil consumption is at a minimum now, 8K+ miles. I have just noticed a driver side differential leak which I am having fixed next week. The vette tech told me that was a common problem. He feels that it is due in part to the thinner oil in the differential to achieve a little better performance. Either way, it is getting fixed next week along with the addition of a HallTech SideWinder.
