ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING - ENGINE
01/08/2000500001
 2000 s10 4wd zr2. yesterday i decided to check what i had though to be a leaking oil filter. to my surprise my oil filter was tight but i had oil all over the top of my skid plate (zr2 s10), the block and my oil lines. after doing some research i found that leaking oil lines on the remote filter is a very common problem on four wheel drive s-10's. i also learned that i was one of the lucky ones that did not have these lines come lose and destroy the engine. i also learned about redesigned oil lines that gm came up with. this means that gm knew about this problem so why did this qualify as a recall? this is a very serious problem could be very easily over looked on the zr2's because of the skid plates. i wish chevy, gm, or even the dealer that i purchased it from would have told me about this when i bought the truck.*ak
