Nice luck on the leaks. Bought this car at 81K with a decent crank seal and oil pan gasket leak.

Congrats on the mileage and no leak!

Mine is 93K and the front and rear auto tranny seals are starting to weep.

No surprise there. The Polo Green vettes have always been the most reliable. Yours looks great!

Thanks for the kind words, and sorry to anyone whose 'vette leaks. Glad for C4 Forum on CF. Better dialog than several 'Vette Clubs in my area. As long as Left Knee holds up, no need for another Corvette. Oh yeah, tried enticing Wifey with C6 w/Auto; keeping her hybrid for the carbon trade off.

Are you sure it has oil in it? Can't seem to keep up with the leaks in my LT4. A drop from here, then a drop from over there!
Mine is a Polo coupe with the ZR1 style wheels, but I really like those on your car! Really nice!

Thanks. As long as knee holds out, no need to upgrade.

Remarkably, my '88 has 146K miles on it, and no leaks. I guess I'm lucky.

So, judging by some of these posts, it is okay to keep driving one's C4 right thru and past the 100,000 mile marker. And it won't explode or otherwise fall apart? Will there be lots of fireworks and sparklers?Yeah!!

I am driving down to Birmingham, AL tomorrow and on the trip down, I will cross that 100K threshold. I've owned my Corvette since 2003 when it had 42,285 on the clock. Since then I've been averaging a little more than 3,500 miles a year, so it stays on the road, providing all that joy we keep hearing about. Maintenace has been brakes, tires, stereo, all three gas struts, headlight doors bushings, and one Opti. That's been it, thus far. Next I suppose will be the front end bushings and all, but in general I have to say, this has been a quality GM product.

* forgot, shocks also
