Rear main leak
I have the ls3 in my camaro and it looks like the rear main is leakig a little. Before I put it in storage it didn't leak a bit. It was stored in an indoor garage but not heated. I have heard sometimes the bearings dry up??? Do you think it needs to be replaced or will it seal up once I drive it. It went straight from the storage place to a lift about 200 yards so I doubt that would have done much.

My car was leaking there and the dealership fixed it without hesitation even though my car is tuned and supercharged. Alfie

Found this on my car also supercharged and cammed. Got 1800 miles since back from livernois I would assume they would give me the best rear main gasket but it's hard to tell if it is that or rear of oil pan or even filter. Wonder if dealership would replace mine since trans has been removed for stall?

It's covered here in California. I've been told to just take it down and they will fix it for free. Dealer stated its a known issue....

Found out mine leaks as well... Recent oil change mentioned that the filter was loose and residue coated a good bit of the underside. Started smelling oil afterward, figured some may have spilled on the headers, but still smelled it 3 weeks later... no oil on the garage floor and oil levels were the same. Brought it back to find it was coated again.
I'm hoping it's just the oil pan gasket and not the rear main seal :(

I took mine in for a oil change too, hot it back and smells like its burning oil. Tool it back after 100 miles of driving and the smell is worse. They put it up on the rack and said the oil cooler line are leaking. Ago they change it, still bad oil burning smell. They replaced the pan gasket and still bad smell in the cab of the car. So they also replaced the heater core hoses and still smell is bad. My car has been in the shop for 15 days and they are lost on it. It never smelled before I took in for a oil change. Oh btw I only had 2 oil changes on it. I hate the smell in it. She's going back in tomorrow.
