yeah Im half way into my header install, looks like I'm grabbing my roomates car tomorrow for work. I noticed two pretty crappy things down there. The passanger side has a small oil leak. There is oil on the fittings and on the pan. Some made it all the way down to the the cats. awsome. Then on the rear there is purple tranny fluid on the casing where the pan is. O yeah, I can't get the drivers side manifold out either, but im just going to drop it out the bottom after I remove the ground strap. Broke two 3/8 to 1/4 inch socket reducers. Everything is going great, but **** I'll have a faster vet. I really can't wait to drive to the muffler shop with open headers. I got these headers used without any connecting pipes and Im ditching my cats.

Well thats my rant. Any ideas on what could be leaking oil. I think It could be the dipstick, but when I pulled it it looked like the o-ring was in good shape and stuff was dry right above where it comes out of the block. Must have broke something on my first run this weekend at the track.

i guess welcome to the world of corvettes

any help would be appreciated
