Oil Leak
My Vette has an oil leak somewhere around the oil filter area.Its been like that for about 6 months and its gotten worse.Is there any known problems in this area?

Have you changed your oil filter and you still have a leak? Sometimes the oil filter seal leaks. Try a new filter. I put in a new oil filter adapter and my leak stopped. Try a new filter first.
