Oil leak
Hello ZL1 family,
So I did a few upgrades(CAI, 101mm throttle body, 1000cc injectors, flex fuel sensor, smaller blower pulley, tune, and run a 50/50 mix of e85/91) car made 600+ to the wheels but now it has a bad leak from crankcase pressure. It first started leaking through the main seal and we replaced that seal twice now. We removed the oem oil cap and added a breather to release some of the pressure so the main seal won't go bad again but now it's leaking oil from out of the breather and almost caused a fire from the oil leaking onto the headers. I have took it back to the shop 5 different times but we can't figure out the issue. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Thank you for your help. |

I would do a compression test on all cylinders as a next step.
