2008 Z51 130k miles.
I have not had time to get the car in the air to investigate.
New oil pressure sender/sensor, valve cover gaskets and valley cover gasket, oil pan gasket.
Couple drops when parked after driving. Only leaks when running. I can smell oil burning at stoplights, looks like its blown back on exhuast. Cant see any leaks from up top. I suspect that it is my rear main?
Coolant was a splash low, but oil is clean, no milkshake. No overheating. Highest temps when fully warm and idling in 80 degree weather as follows, Coolant 215 - 220°, Oil 215-220°, Trans around 190°. No dense white smoke. Only normal whispy white vapor on cold starts in FL humidity. I don't think it's my head gaskets but someone mentioned it and makes me question.
I've done my research and found very little on bad head gaskets on C6 corvettes, even with super high milage.
Just wanted to get a few extra opinions.
Thanks~ BlissfulC
