Default UPDATE: OIL LEAK

FIRST OFF, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE ON THIS BOARD FOR MAKING THE BEST CORVETTE FORUM ON THE INTERNET. THE INFORMATION HERE, IS TO SOME INVALUBLE. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT! NOW ON TO MY OIL LEAK, TURNED OUT TO BE A COOLANT LEAK BETWEEN THE HEAD AND BLOCK ON DRIVERSIDE OF ENGINE THAT WAS PICKING UP OIL FROM THE SIDE OF THE BLOCK FROM A PREVIOUS OIL LEAK AND LANDING ON THE CAT. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMEND IF YOU HAVE A HARD TO FIND LEAK, PURCHASE A DYE AND BLACK LIGHT KIT FROM A AUTO PARTS STORE BECAUSE IT NOT ONLY TELLS YOU WHERE THE LEAK IS BUT WHAT THE LEAK IS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY.
