So i have an issue I do not know what keeps leaking i keep seeing this !

This is the third time i have seen this, same spot, same liquid i feels not like water almost like oil or coolant type, but i checked both and i did not see any running dripping or stain marks in the engine bay... Where is this coming from, i need to know is this a ZL1 issue? Recall or something ? Any ideas

Size varied depending when i check, because of the hot weather.

My buddy that owns a ZL1 had the same problem. He licked his finger after running it through the stain.

It was cat piss.

Isn't this outside the front grille? Is there any fitting that could plausibly explain the drip mark, or is it really cat pee as suggested?

I think it's drool

I would put a rat trap baited with peanut butter or cheese under the car and see what happens. If its a cat ,it will give him something to think about , if its a rodent , you gave him a good last meal.Let us know what you find out.

There are a couple guys I know who has had this problem. It turned out to be a coolant leak (oil cooler line). It was leaking from the line where it threads into the block. Its not a ZL1 issue because they both have an SS. Good news is, its covered under warrenty. Hope this helps.

My car is in my garage.... i dont own cats or rats in my garage... trust me. I just went to a quick HeB Shop came back home its there, when i just drove car around before came back home into the garage, looked its there... like wtf It has a streaking going from the inside out and that drip mark is where it all gathered.

Where does the over radiator water diverter for the hood air flow ports drain?

It's hard to tell the color from the pics. Automotive fluids have different colors to help ID them. What color is it?

Hellfighter · 12-03-2013, 04:41 PM

Here are the updated pictures, i just took.

Plastic cracked at the seam? hard to tell if it's not put under some pressure. two to three psi
