Does my M6 have a cooler?

If it is red in a M6, I would say power steering and/or coolant

its oily, and i took a flashlight under the car and it looks like lines coming and going from the trans may be the problem..

thats a pisser..my duramax is on its 3rd set of cooling lines.

I have a 2013 ZL1 vert and had the same leak. It was my fitting on the left side of engine for oil cooler. There was a bulletin on this #PIP4735D. I don't know if your car is different, but my leak was the same size and color.

thanks mdolandese..nothing showed up under that number.
you would think building cars for over 100 years they could get a handle on leaks.
