I changed the oil about 1 month ago in my wifes 2002 Camaro Z28 and a few days ago I noticed a small drop or 2 of oil on the garage floor. In the last couple of days the drops truned into a small puddle so tonight I crawled under the Camaro to see what the problem was. I found what I'm sure was a bad oil filter . The oil seems to coming from the oil filter gasket and none was any higher and the blow back all streamed lined from the oil filter base.
I went to Napa and bought a Napa gold and installed it and topped it off with Mobil 1 5w30. After I dirve the Camaro around I'll have a look and make sure it is not leaking any more. I should know in a day or 2 if it was a bad filter or not! I think I'm going to stay away from Mobil 1's filters from now on because of their flow problems and now this problem(I think). Napa (WIX) should be a good replacment!
