    I put about 5K a year on the car but oil leaks on a clean garage floor just burn me.
    I have plenty of other cars and some are 38 yrs old and none leak as bad as this one.
    I have an auto trans so pulling the trans isnt that big a deal.
    BTW just pulled the trans pan on GTP and found plenty of metal.Looks like GM warranty will need to fix that too.

      Im really pissed now as a friend brought his 97 Bird over this weekend to change plugs.
      I put it on lift and was sick when I saw the underside.
      It was covered in oil and exhaust y pipe was crusty with baked on oil. It took me 2 cans of degreaser,2 cans of brake clean and several rags to clean up what we could just to work on car.
      the tranny mount is spongy in front its taken on so much oil. This sucks that the rear mains leak so bad.Our GTP was in shop getting warranty work and they pulled the trans and oil pan but wouldnt do the rear main seal,claiming it wasnt leaking.
      Its got 40K more than my Bird and doesnt leak?
