Mile are near 150k. I think the leak and PCV system all happen after last oil change which I do. I have never seen any oil under my car before that.

If you were able to get the car that much off the ground, so you could take those pictures, then you should be able to do a pretty good job of cleaning off the bottom of the car. A "parts cleaning brush", and a couple of bottles of 'Purple Power' spray cleaner, as long as you have access to a garden hose, and a place to work where the oily residue won't damage anything, and you'll be able to easily clean up the undercarriage.
Keep in mind, you're not just saving the "20$ per can" cost of the spray brake cleaner, but you'll also give whomever does the repair, a better idea of where the leak actually is, therefore increasing the odds of getting the leak fixed the first time.

Prices continue to fall. That applies to your car as well but Jan-Feb are good times to buy sports cars. Prices should be back in line within a two years. In fact I see a depression in second or third car prices. There WAS a ton of money flying around lately. That has stopped. You can thank joey for the increase with no commensurate raise in your pay.

So last week found a nice C6 2009 with 42k miles. Got 5k for mine and theirs for 25k. It is a convertible too with every option and a RPO code of ZR6 which mean it was a show car at car shows

Is the replacement a two pedal car as well? $5K at a dealership as a trade in seems pretty fair to me. Not a great bargain for either side. I am amused that they seem to be offering it without worrying about the leaks that started the thread.
