On to the dealer after the Labor day weekend to see what happens next. From the posts, I will confirm that they will use dye, and bring up that the oil cooler can make it seem other items are the culprit. Thanks for those that posted in here. One side question, I know every company has turn over but I saw 4 different Chevy service responders on this thread and they all were not aware of this

. The owner of the shop new it was an issue with that area since he has seen it before even on his camaro. My car has 22,000 didn't notice oil leaking so maybe this was caught early?

but doubt it.
I keep you posted....

My dealer is going to replace the oil pan gasket. I have faith that the dealer will fix it right, just concerned how many times I will need to take it in. I know they are following protocol and have had work done there before with no issues. My concern is the dropping of the suspension, since my recent replacement of aftermarket parts, and if the alignment will be different than what my part installer set it to for road course setup.

I haven't even been able to get it on the track yet, I guess it is a good thing that this was noticed before a push the car a little. Even with all the problems these cars are experiencing, I wouldn't trade it for any other. I was stoked when it was revealed in 06 and excited when it hit production looking as much as the concept looked. Hopefully in 2 days I will get my car back and will update as the weeks go by. I have to say that I am pretty lucky being close to a customer friendly dealer, and Camaro Scotty!

Thanks Brandon,
I don't forsee an issue, even if the oil pan is not the fix. I know my dealer will work to get it right. Glad to have the 5 year 100,000 mile(5 years will come up first) warranty for issues like this. I will keep you posted as well. How many of service reps do you have patroling the site?

I have a faulty oil cooler. Dealer will be replacing.

midnighter · 09-06-2012, 10:55 PM

Doh! I installed my catback system today and noticed that my oil cooler is also leaking where it screws on to the block.. Problem is my warranty just ran out. I am going to try and fix it myself. Or would the warranty still cover it? I only have 5,285 miles on my Camaro.

You do realize your you have a 5yr/100k drivetrain warranty......

3/36k is for everything else.

Oh awesome!

Thanx, then I will take it in next week. Hopefully the Corsa catback exhaust I just installed doesn't void that warranty.

Has nothing to do with it. Dealer should fix the issue with no problem.

carrs_crew · 09-06-2012, 11:32 PM

Dealer had it done less than 1 1/2 days, I will get her out soon and see if she leaks, and keep checking the cardboard from then on, as well as get her up and look at the undercarriage.

pixxy · 10-08-2012, 11:18 PM

I had a leaky oil pan gasket replaced two weeks ago...the also replaced the oil cooler gasket...so far it seems to have fixed the problem.
