Does the 5yr/100,000 cover oil leaks?

The 5 year is powertrain...which is pretty much anything that touches oil. So unless damage caused the leak you ate probably covered

Following this thread as my daily driver 2011 2LT bumper to bumper will expire early Aug. this year. Today, only at 8,157 Km after 2-1/2 years (don't drive much).
Before August will take my 2011 2LT A6 to dealership for two minor inssues, one weatherstrip, one creak on passenger side.
Want to go on the record (document) I asked dealership to inspect specifics before bumper to bumper expires.
One minor issue: Rubber weather strip on left side drivers rocker panel. Rubber weather strip rippled, not smooth in lower body door rocker panel channel. Will need to be replaced, not simply pushed back in rocker panel channel (to pop out again a year from now).
One minor issue: This winter developed a slight squeak sound coming from either right glove box or right door panel. Want it fixed. Traded a 1996 Sebring LXI coupe for the Camaro, 100,000 miles on the LXI, not one interior squeak. Currently have a summer only car, 1998 Riviera, 70,000 miles, not one interior squeak. Now have an interior squeak in my 2011 Camaro with less than 8,200 Km. Not exceptible.
One issue: I was first in North America to report a low gear hesitation shift on the A6 Camaro transmission to GM (after others reported on this site). Two years ago GM replaced the TCM (transmission control monitor) when my 2011 had about 2,000 km. Still do not understand why I feel a moment of hesitiaton between low gear auto shifts when other cars I have owned, including my current 1998 Rivera, have no noticable hesitation between gear shifts with auto transmissions.

So my inspection went well. They say I need new tires :( Any recommendations?

Also, they couldn't reproduce the radio problem. I wanted them to update my radio to the latest firmware, but they didn't. Is there a way I can this done regardless of them being able to reproduce a problem with it???

I went to General Gmax, high performance all seasons, they handle a lot better in the cool mornings and evenings than the Pirellis. Oh and they cost a bit less.
