Hi
Is it normal for LT1's to leak. It appears to be a gasket problem from underneath. I do not see any puddles on my garage floor but looking under the front of my car it looks wet.
I mentioned this to my dealership and they said it was common and would cost around $800 to fix. They said something about removing the water pump even though the previous owner said he just replaced it.
Now, it doesn't appear serious yet and they said that l can wait until it gets worse.
What would you do and is the price steep? When the service advisor called me, l was in an office with alot of noise and really didn't hear him, except the price rang a bell.
Thanks
Alan
p.s. When somebody said that the vette was a money pit, l laughed. lt almost seems that the newer vettes are more prone to problems then the C3's, but that is for another thread.
