Dropped the car off this morning now waiting to see if GM will cover the oil leak, the guy said he would run it through to see but said since I had a cam installed it probably voided the whole drive train warranty.

Will keep y'all posted.

Since the oil pan was never removed GM covered the leak

it all depends on the dealer. One dealer told me no as soon as the service advisor opened the hood and say the supercharger. Another dealer said No Problem! In the end, I just couldn't/didn't trust a dealer who likely would have assign a trainee or inexperienced guy to perform work on a low profit warranty work so I had a performance shop take care of it.

They honored mine
mods include: cam, roller rockers, cai, underdrive pulley, LT headers, 410 gear, dyno tune,

They did say that if the mods caused the leak or if the oil pan had been been removed then it would not be honored.

They said they would cover mine but they have to pull engine. Dont know if i trust that with all the mods i have done!

jsharp · 10-16-2011, 12:45 PM

Those are the oil pan gasket and oil cooler gasket part numbers.

Add me to the list of those falling victim to the oil pan gasket leak.
Just got the car back after the front being dismantled to change the gasket.

OUTATIME · 10-19-2011, 03:55 PM

According to my dealer, I "have some pretty serious leaks." They're going to need to keep it for at least another day. I'm so nervous that it's at the dealer overnight because it's so easy for it to get a ding or scratch, or be a victim of carelessness . . . ugh. This car has not left my care for this long, ever.

So apparently this is also an issue with 2011 camaros? The bulletin mentioned earlier in this thread only said 2010... I have mine in storage in my garage, so I guess I should be monitoring my floor...?

Add me to the list. My understanding is that during assembley, there was not enough silicone sealant used, therefore premature leaking. At the dealer it's 5 hours labor just to R&R the carriage. Very poor design, IMHO. Can you imagine this happening after your warranty had expired. You guys that intend to keep these cars, if you are not already trained, you need to seriously get mechanical training or a bigger savings account. For the fuel filter to be serviced, be prepared for the rear carriage to be lowered.
