This is my 1995 Chevrolet Camaro Z28.
It is my daily driver in the summertime.
I discovered a small oil leak from the front of the engine.
(A drip of oil on the ground after driving.)

And, the water pump leaks…
Those of you who are familiar with the F-body Camaro/Firebird of this generation (Gen. 4) with the LT1 V8 know that this is not very good news for the Optisparc distributor that is located underneath the water pump…

This distributor model is very sensitive to water, and the location underneath the water pump is not a good idea when the water pump leaks and drops water onto it. 🙂

It also misfires sometimes, especially during cold starts.

The sparc plugs also needs replacement, and because the sparc plugs are very hard to reach, some of them are only accessible from the underside, those tends to be left in for much longer time then it should.. (!)

One sparc plug also needs the generator to be removed to get access to it..

Well, due to the oil and water leak, it now needs a lot of attention. 🙂

I have a new water pump, and a new distributor cap/rotor from MSD, a new oil seal and new sparc plugs that i have to replace before this summer.

Preferably anyway, we´ll see if i manage to get this done before this summer or not. 🙂
If i don´t, i will have to use my other car this summer. (A 2008 Saab 9-5 station wagon.)

Since the AC is working in the Saab, but not in the Camaro, this is an advantage since the summers seem to be more hot than for a couple of years ago. 🙂

It would be a good time to replace the AC pump in the Camaro when doing all this, but unfortunately i can not afford this just yet. 🙁
