Clear, very good job with the video. Your warning that the bolts are threaded in to aluminum will likely save folks from creating problems.
Last year found the bolts on my 2014 oil cooler needed snugging up a little at the oil pan flange/gasket (right below the blue arrow in pic);
and also the pressed in freeze plug type end cap at the blue arrow was seeping some in this location at the arrow tip:

Was the oil cooler end cap leaking at all on your Camaro?

These 2x10" homemade ramps give plenty of clearance and safety to get under there, have an optional top step that drops in place for more height.
