I had a GREAT Corvette related day!
Changed the transmission fluid and rear end gear oil, installed new front C6Z06 shocks with the matching sway bar, and finally pulled the clutch out.
The clutch and flywheel are saturated in oil. It may not be the rear main seal. I took a few pictures to get "professional" opinions.
Look at how much oil is over by the starter. Weird.
This is looking up, into the bellhousing.
Thoughts?

This may be a good time to invest in brake parts cleaner stock. I'm about to make the company's month!

I've been inspired by the HuggerOrange73. I'm painting my intake and valve covers this weekend.
I'm going to clean this entire area too.
I might be a TAD bit obsessive.
I think Ford Blue is gonna be the color I choose.
