Finishing up the paperwork on my first Vette.
84 Red Targa with 89k miles.
Needs a bit of work to make it a clean runner. Seems to have some oil seal issues. Been working on lots of minor things like bulbs and fluids. She detailed up fairly good.

Welcome to the forum, one common oil leak problem can be the valve cover gaskets, especially if cork..

OK good. Seriously its nasty. Hoping it was the cover seal and maybe a loose filter blowing everywhere. Will go through the seals and replace without cork on the valve covers and oil pan.
