I've noticed what looks like a possible rear main seal leak, a nice pretty coat of oil on the TC cover.....a f***ing '99, it's already leaking, and of course the warranty's gone. Chevy sure isn't trying very hard to make their customers happy. I wrote to them to complain about the problems with my car, and I didn't even get an autoresponder message. I guess they cut us off.

Edit- Oh yeah, my leak doesn't seem to be bad enough to make a noticeable difference at oil changes - yet (knocks on wood), but it's enough that I can smell hot oil when I turn the car off. I hope it's not getting worse (knock on wood again).

Maybe its because we all Like to drive them hard. Fbody's are sports cars and Im sure none of us forget that.

yeah i've got one too and its been about a year that I haven't fixed it. Its not that bad just a little drop every week or so, but when i drive the car hard sometiems i smell it burning or see a little bit of smoke. I just found out my tranny is leaking too, so I estimate this be around 200 or so to get it fixed, not in the dealership cause they will charge about 500 cause they love to rip people off. I guess that sux for all of us since we all get oil leaks fairly easy.

Only leak I have ever had was from the valve covers. Which I fixed with some new gaskets. Once I lost the seal on the oil drain plug. That was nasty, had to be replaced real quick, coated the underside of my car on the way to autozone to get a new washer.

Mine is a 94 and I have not driven it hard. I am losing a little oil from my rear seal as well as from my dif....but not too much. I switched to Maxlife oil for the engine and I actually saw the leak diminish....but that was also because I was using a synth blend...which is much thinner thatn regular oil and will leak much easier than regular oil.

Oil leak + extended warranty = free fix [img]smile.gif[/img]
