Backed the car out of the garage this morning for a good cleaning.

Found this when I backed the car out. :-(



It seems to be coming from the lines to the oil cooler, fittings or the cooler itself.

Off to the dealer Monday.

threads like this makes me so nervous. I just passed 1108 miles problem free

Now every time I pull out of the garage I'll be looking for fluids

Did you have an oil change? Check oil level, sounds like could be over full.

Never understand why anyone gets "nervous'''....sh** breaks - read here for a while and you'll see these cars en mass are not falling apart..but such is forum life....

6200 miles, and still perfect...and if/when something happens, I'll get it fixed under warranty...

Hopefully easy fix for dealer.

Never fun though for sure!

Maybe not nervous but annoyed or disappointed might be a better word.

Owned quite a few new automobiles throughout my life and have not had any problems with any of them that were 10K miles or less. Guess I have been lucky but I to would be disappointed if I started seeing issues after 3K miles...

Big problem or small problem, the dealer will fix it. A bit of a pain, yes. The end of the world, no.

Disappointing but not a huge deal for me. I'm betting on a loose fitting in the oil cooler line. It's dripping straight down onto the cradle and since it's under warranty, I'm not jacking it up and crawling underneath for my own edification.

4,600 miles and no issues. (Where's the knock on wood smilie?)

Certainly understand the nervousness. $55-$70K for a car with low miles having leaks or other problems that it should not, makes anyone having bought or planning to buy take pause. Certainly does not do much to instill confidence.

Agree that "Shitte" breaks, but for most of us, we are slightly out of our comfort zone with the dollar amount spent for this automobile.

Fairly sure we'd all like to get at least 36K miles of trouble free driving before having to run to the dealer for leaks, or other breakages.

At $15-$25K spent for a car, for whatever reason, makes these things a little easier to accept and less troubling (still an irritant and not acceptable by any means), but @ 3 times that dollar amount, it certainly is less so IMO.

Not being argumentative just adding a bit of perspective.

Its a shame it appears this car was pushed into production a little before its time.

Had a 2011 CTS-V coupe, in the 18 months I owned it, had to both a supercharger and a rear differential replaced under warranty

Please don't troll threads I start.

Not a bad habit to get into every time you back a car out of the garage.

Larry/car

Why say that? It is probably a gasket or fitting. Happens all the time, leaf blower to Boeing 747.

Theta

If you have a Z51, the pressure fittings on the two large oil lines can leak from a bad seal - looks just like this.

Lots of little stuff like that (seals), so while annoying, it's (probably) all good after a day in the shop.

1stTimeforEverything

That's why I never, ever buy a first year leaf blower, or Boeing 747.

Theta

First year or tenth year, seals are seals. Give that 'first year' line a rest...

Soon people will be using it on 'my carpet is wrinkly' threads.

And first-year Boeing 747s had more horsepower... (kidding, of course, though it would be funny to find out they made more thrust or something coincidental to that statement)

Hope it's just a seal, you can get new ones at Annapolis or Sea World.
