Default In need of knowledge!

Recently bought a 95 z/28 6spd.

Decided to crawl under the car because I noticed a 'gas line'? disconnected.

I am wondering why my car is still able to run with this line disconnected- nothing seems to be going through it.

I then noticed water dripping from who knows where.. maybe from A/C?

Then I noticed the massive amount of oil all over the trans, above the trans on the driver side, and on the starter..

Any advice would be apreciated. I am a novice when it comes to certain things- this is also my first z/28 so it is a big motor stuffed into a small space. D:

1st one is your evap need to hook it back up. evap vents the gas tank. 2 is normal, water from the ac unit drains out a hole there. 3rd is probably the oil pressure switch/sensor leaking, common. 4th I'm not sure where thats coming from. valve cover maybe.

Ok, I figured that was the evap- i'm not completely stupid xD!

I couldn't tell where the water was coming from but figured it was A/C.

I'll crawl back under there and see if the oil pressure sending switch is leaking.

annnnnddd I will see if the valve cover is leaking.


Also, I get a SES light every now and again comes and goes- usually quickly.. I know the 95 is OBD1 with a OBD2 connector.. can I buy a run of the mill obd1 code reader and
connect it via shbox's handy method to pull the code? http://shbox.com/1/xraycable.jpg

I am having a hard time seeing if it is my oil pressure switch.. maybe this can help..?

My oil smells a bit like charcoal which I thought was odd haha.. Gonna do an oil change, de-grease the trans and engine.. btw my oil pressure is great.. seems very normal. no lights or anything either
