Same issue I know your pain of having the oil drool. Advanced Auto and the others used to sell a small $1 packet of drain plug thread sealer and it worked great. So great it is now no longer available. Now I use Permatex non-hardening Form a Gasket and it works almost as well. Coat the threads...

My 1995 Coupe had roof rattles for uver 1 year - too simple of a fix found Had roof rattles on major bumps for a long term. I kept trying to adjust the bolts holding the roof to the car frame with some success. Later I found out the real problem was the brackets attached to the removable roof...

same problem on a 95 coupe - simple fix My headlamp problem was that it would hit and sometimes hang up on the metal tube going to the antifreeze recovery tank, located just below the headlamp on my 95 coupe . Just bent the tube a bit and put on a piece of masking tape to show any future...

My 95 coupe - had all 4 amps rebuilt - not a big deal nd one of the early issues was I've had my 95 coupe for almost 1 year now, and one of the first issues was the same speaker amp symptoms as you are having. From my research on this site and others it seems Bose used lousey diodes (they...

Cig lighter socket All I can offer is my experience with my 95 coupe, which I think will be close to the same for your car. First, look for anything that may be at the bottom of the cigarette socket. I just keep a small USB plug (Dollar Tree) in there to keep anything from falling in...

Quality rebuilds 95 coupe headlight motor Looking at other replies it appears your headlight motor gears may be shot. Nothing new - thanks GM engineers! I had the same issues on mine and I used ebay's "carguy8t8". I did not feel up to cleaning, replacing the gears, and finding the proper...

I had same no heat issue 95 coupe Over the last two months I've responded to others who had no heat although both heater core hoses were hot. Look at the electric heater temperature valve (Ecklers #51595 $88, don't try to use the cheaper Dorman replacement unit) This motor is located behind the...

Update My Update. After really giving the underside a good wipe down and restarting the engine, I now believe the bell housing area is not the source of the drip. It is above the trans drain pan on the passenger side front. The dipstick/filler tube looks to be the correct area of the leak...

I'm looking for some experienced advice on this leak issue - hopeful a minor issue. C4 95 Coupe has 80K. I bought it 6 months ago and with no service records I had trans fluid and filter changed, as it looked pretty dirty. That was 6,000 miles ago and now it has just started a trans fluid leak...

rough idle - vacuum leaks For what it is worth, my 95 coupe changed so much for the better when I accidently found a vacuum leak at the EGR valve fitting. The rubber angle fitting in the hose at the EGR was rotted, loose, and would leak vacuum intermittently. Since replacing the vacuum hose...

:cool!:I know rattles, creaks, and growns are nothing new to the C4 forum. I've tracked down many of the sources, but the drivers side has it's challenges. The door panel has been off several times, and I plan to go back in with parts replacement and window adjustments in mind - armed with more...

Although I've had my 1st Corvette for less than 6 months, with average or above mechanical skills I know most areas of this 95 base coupe pretty well. Latest adventure was finding out it had very luke warm heat. From previous forums posts I checked for both heater hoses being hot. They were, but...

I may be the only one, but I find it real easy to undershoot or overshoot drive-on repair ramps without an observer. Through the years I've used a simple method. With a retractable tape measure I lock it to the length of the bottom of the tire to the center of the ramp top surface where I want...

My experience, choice, and advice As a first time owner of a Corvette, my 95 coupe has been a real joy to own. A early problem was the headlamp motor operation and through this forum I learned about the plastic gear troubles. I could have done the rebuild, but it sounded like an involved and...

Wow ! Thank you - so simple Thank you, I did check out the ohm values on the new diode harness first and found similar ohm values on the engine harness connector after disconnectiong the PCM. So all is OK for now :wand it wasn't an issue after all. I appreciate the help and all the...
