Maybe I am blind but it’s a little difficult seeing a leak in your pictures. Maybe circle the area and upload the files again? That being said the belt tensioners on LT1’s are known to leak and I do see the tensioner in your close up. If so just google “2017 camaro SS belt tensioner” and it should come up. Had mine replaced on my 2016 1SS I used to own.

First of all thank you!
That part does seem to fit the bill, are these known to leak?

Overtime they can, I consider it a wear part along the lines of idler pulley bearings and components like that
