I've still got a small leak on one of the valve covers and another mysterious leak coming from the front of the motor. Welcome to the joys of LT1 ownership.
Lol, my 100k+ LT1 has never leaked a drop.

You need to fix your oil leaks.

Mine turned into a leaker because it would sit unused for months at a time while I was deployed. Not good for seals.
