Oil Leaks
My 2012 SS has an oil leak for the second time already. Anybody else had these problems? My car has 12300 miles on the clock. What will it be like @ 50000 I wonder.
Thanks in advance.

The first one was a lower control arm. I haven’t had this one checked out yet.

It's either your strut, brake fluid or cv joint depending if it's rear or front.

Control arms have no oil...... You may want to check the oil cooler, the struts, even the engine mounts....

That’s what I thought, but that’s what they said they changed, and the leak went away. It was done by the dealer, under warranty.

follow the oil it always flows down and back, control arm is suspension..... There have been many cases of small leaks from the oil cooler which acts more like a oil heater...
