Last week while driving to the beach for a run, as I was parking, the P/S went,as in couldn't steer. Popped the hood and there was a thin, dark oil everywhere.

Ran and drove home and all was fine. With new shop rags, cleaned up all the oil(not really that much). All clean, I looked for the source. Couldn't find it. Process of elimination. Still couldn't find it so I drove it to work the next day.

No codes, no oil missing, AND no more leaks. I have since driven over 300 miles with no problems or answers.

Vettes don't fix themselves.

btw its a 1996.

Still concerned when the ghost will return, your comments are welcome and appreciated. I'm on the west coast for the week.

I always hear don't fix it till it's broken. Go drive it till you break it.

That's why we have road rangers, AAA and flatbed tow trucks.
