I wanted to be likeTribone, just not like this.
No, I didn't get a kick ass super charger put on my car. I'm rolling in a Malibu insted of my beloved Camaro.
I took my baby in to the service department at my dealership in Temecula to get the oil changed and get the screws removed from the rear decklid. I dropped her off and went on out with the wife to kill time until they called back saying she was ready. A couple of hours go by and I get a call saying my baby has sprung a leak. It seems that the gasket around the oil pan is leaking and needs to be replaced. I didn't have any oil spots in my garage and my oil level was not low, however the amount of oil that spewed all over the tranny and oil cooler was a bit much. I had to get a couple of things out of the car tonight and was suprised to see just how much work has to be done to get the oil pan out of this car. The entire front end had to be broken down. The front sub frame has to be completely disassyembled to get the oil pan off of the bottom end. So, for the next 3-4 days, I'll be crusing around in a Malibu. God I miss my car! Enterprise couldn't even give me a car with a working key fob. Here are a couple of pic's of the oil leakage. No pic's of the deconstruction of my poor baby. I was too traumatized to get my phone out of my pocket. Sorry about the crappy quality, iPhone + under car lighting =

Yup, not a bad ride, but it's no Camaro. At least they found it before the S/C went on. I'd have to go postal if they tried to not fix her.

So how common is that? When I changed my oil, I noticed some around the pan and tranny, but it wasn't as much as in your pictures.

MTCWBY said he had a loose oil cooler. Other than the two of us, I haven't heard of anyone else having an issue. Both of us are well over 12K miles also.
