Sorry if this has been covered before, but I'm thinking of trading up to a Z06 and this really concerning me :( Is this a common problem? I did a search for polls and couldn't find one. Has a poll been generated to find out what % of owners are having this problem??? Thanks.

The number I've seen several times is ~5% of the '01 have an oil consumption issue. '02s should be significantly less but it looks like its not 0% either. Don't let this stop you from getting a Z06, you'll love it.

Been a long time, way long, since I've messed with a PCV Valve - where is it?
