I recently replaced the diff cover seal on my 2012-ZL1. The car has remained on the lift for several weeks as I am doing other things to the car. This past weekend, I noticed oil in the same spot on the diff as before, however it appears to be coming from a crack in the cover that is not visible to my eyes. There appeared to be oil above the cover bolt.

Anyone experienced this on a 5th gen ZL1? Any suggestions on how I might repair this cover if I do determine for certain it is cracked?

Thanks
Ron
