So im alittle stumped on the oil loss on my LT1. The oil obviously is making its way onto the balancer because it is spattered everywhere around it. Its
all over my lower components so its obviously going onto the balancer and being throw all over the place. I replaced the crank seal on the timing cover so that cant be it. The timing gasket was replaced and also i dont see any frontal oil loss out of the valve covers. I was wondering if maybe the front main seal could be the culprit? Are they known to go out on these lt1's? If pictures are needed i can supply them. Any suggestions are much appreciated!!! Thanks

Could be coming from the crank seal,opti seal,timing cover gasket,or from the corners of the oil pan gasket.

 

The crank seal, timing cover seal, opti seal have been replaced

 

Water pump driveshaft seal?

 

Damn,I knew i was forgetting one..lol...Have you checked the front of the intake??It could be leaking from there and running down the front of the motor and getting thrown all around.I would get underneath the front of the car with some brake cleaner and carefully degrease the timing cover and said componets,start it up and patiently watch for the leaks..
