Oil pan gasket?
Looks to be the front main, or the timing cover, and the rear main seal.

What's amazing is we all have rare colors.

Mine - Spiral Gray offered 03-04
Melon - Electron Blue offered 02-03
Griff - 50th Anniversary Red offered 03
Purp - One off (duh)
CaleDeRoo - Fairway Green offered 97-98 (super low production)

Who the hell am I forgetting?

Waxer had silver, and was Max's electron blue as well or the lighter blue?

Probably front main...VERY common. Let me know if you decide to tackle it yourself, you really need the proper alignment tool to get the cover just right, I've got one I can lend.

Nice!

I'll put it off for now, I have too many other irons in the fire, and it's literally fire season here.
I might tackle this during the winter, when temps are a bit more favorable.

That's it! I knew we had a yellow car on here. Probably the most common of all the colors we rep.

It really doesn't hurt anything other than making a mess. If it's coming from the front, I'd bet money that it's the FMS.

I've got a leak too somewhere on the front. I know my PCV is getting that side of the block dirty, but the oil on my garage floor is from somewhere else. It stays full tho, so it's not leaking a lot. I do have something going on with my coolant. I can smell it, and it's a slight leak as well but I can't find it. I really need to just completely degrease and detail the front of my motor so I can track it down.

JOhnny Neon bro who also occasionally posts here owns a yellow one I believe.

I think the green is my favorite. :wub: all of them though. I wonder what the most common color was, red? I find white to be the worst C5 color, very pedestrian... followed by silver and black.

I believe black by far. I also much prefer white to the beige

I think I am going to do a somewhat involved partial restoration of my Corvette once we get a house/garage, likely this winter. It could use a lot of little things replaced and updated at this point, but miraculously leaks zero oil/fluids.

Oh, shit..that's right! We have 2 yellows.

My favorite BY FAR is Electron Blue. It's quite possibly the most perfect blue ever painted on a vehicle. I was so :| when I couldn't find one, but Spiral Gray has grown on me.

I bet black is the most common, and I really don't care for black C5s.

Coolant is usually water pump...unless the plastic radiator cracked.

Yeah Electron Bloo is nice. I certainly wouldn't have bought the 50AE if I did it all over again, I think yellow or green would be it, and likely would've gotten something pre-modded. But overall it was a great choice as an impulse buy thing, my car was clearly extremely well cared for prior to my ownershit and has been quite reliable.
