I might have asmall, slow drip that doesnt even hit the ground. Only since i went over the curb and dented the oil pan though, so probably not rear seal. Got about 45k on it.97 RS<br />Member Status: F-Body Owner<br />Member Number: 7705<br />Registered: September 13, 2005<br />Posts: 24<br />Email Address: hfoxx123@yahoo.com<br />Location: Minnesota<br />Occupation: Database Administration<br />Homepage: <a href=\"http://none\" target=\"_blank\">http://none</a><br />Car: uh a camaro

I do not have a rear main seal oil leak on my '96.
However, the GM part number for the oil drain plug *gasket* is #14090908. Comes in a package of 5.
It is a steel washer with a neoprene rubber seal molded in, highly recommended.
The cheap rubber seals, available at Autozone for example, get chewed up on the threads when reinstalling the 15MM drain plug and causing a slow oil leak centered where a rear main seal may leak therefore throwing you off for what may not be a bigger problem.Black \'96 RS Camaro, 3.8 V6 Series II, M5, Stock 200 HP, 204K miles!

I have a slow leak that has always been there, never really worried about it. Never need to add oil or anything.

PS leaks a bit, although it's not as bad since I changed to synthetic PS fluid.
Engine leaks a bit on to the Y pipe,(small drips on floor).
I'm going to try the drain pan plug. Seems to be getting worse with each oil change.
Thanks for the tips.

mine leaks, 89,xxx miles. I honestly think it's more of a 5-speed thing. We don't have that heavy torque converter to help soften the shifts. And it's been leaking since about 45k miles. In a 3-4k mile oil change I think I loose about a half a quart or so between normal consumption and the leak.-Brad
