The grease you see is from the DSSV struts. They have a sintered brass vent near the bottom that will expel some residual grease. There are posts on this subject and GM even has a bulletin on it. I have had the Gen5 Z/28 DSSV front struts apart and have studied the Gen6 Multimatic DSSV cutaway pictures. Both are of a similar internal design. The grease is used inside for the insert lubrication and it is normal for some excess to be pushed out. My recommendation is to clean up all the grease from the area and remove the vent and clean it with BraKleen and reinstall. Be careful to not overtighten the vent (ask me how I know, lol). Eventually the excess grease will dwindle and you won't have anymore exiting the strut.

At COTA in May the ambient temp was ~100F. Guessing the track was 130F. No issues. Water under 220 and oil to 270-280 in the last last laps per Cosworth but cooled quickly. I have seen same in cooler temps. GY G3Rs held up well, did not get greasy at all. Good for another 2 days with 5 20-min sessions (I usually get 4 days total for the tires). Advanced Group.
First time with camber lowered to -2.7 (was -3.1-ish forget). Much more even wear on the the tires and understeer is not a problem. If it is I am not on the right line. I did add an intercooler expansion tank afterwards. I had a Track Night in America last week with 104F ambient. Power was noticeably more consistent.

I'm mulling over an upper pulley, SC porting, and a throttle body. |

Hey, I'm curious on your COTA times? Last event for me in April with it around 100 and humid my zle wasn't lasting more than 4 laps (pulling power, temps getting high, etc.). - will likely be going external oil cooler and beefier heat exchanger to help.
Happened last summer at July night event as well (stock) Quote:

In cabin view of the 45 minutes session. 4K processing still pending. Should be ready in a day or two.

Update: I ordered a headrest GoPro mount so I should have a better view for future videos.

Cooler weather 150mph+ in the back straight, just 143mph on Sat looking through the PDR, 147mph Sun. IMO temps for oil and water otherwise were high, but fine. It just needs the intercooler tank to me based on my test at Harris Hill afterwards.
