I wonder if that's the issue - my dad's neighbor treats his cars like they're made from 24k gold. Perhaps his Z06 just didn't like a once-per-month driving schedule. I know 4-valve AMG W126 Benzes were known to leak fluids unless they were regularly driven hard. FWIW, he replaced that Z06 with a ZR1.
