Which motor? My 2023 LT 2.7T developed an oil pan leak at 700 miles. My 2023 LT 5.3L is so far not leaking anything.

I have a 2020 silverado with 45k miles and it was leaking a month ago, I looked quickly one day when i noticed a puddle on the driveway and didnt see any obvious leaks but a day later i went under and looked closer and it was due to the oil filter not being put on tight enough, i could turn it easily with my hand.

My 2024 Silverado High Country with the 5.3 is leaking. Noticed it when I crawled under it to do the first oil change with about 4,500 miles on it. I bought the Truck at a dealer about an hour away because none of my local dealers could get the truck. However, I took it to my local dealer in Newark, DE Porter's Chevrolet 10 minutes from my house to have them look at it. They told me it was the Rear Main seal leaking. I dropped off the truck on a Monday late afternoon and picked it up Friday. I checked it the next morning and it was still leaking. Additionally, they had compromised the integrity of the Transmission oil pan by having used a large pry bar against it I guess trying to separate the Engine and Transmission. So, I took it right back on Monday. They again had the truck until Friday and told me they replaced another remain seal and housing, because GM won't let them just replace the seal. They also replaced the Transmission oil pan they damaged at no cost to me. I had a bust week and didn't get a chance to check it until the following week on a Saturday. Sure enough, it was still leaking. I called GM's Customer Care and have a Case number assigned and the GM Rep told me I could take it to a different dealer. So, I took it back to the dealer I bought it from in White Marsh, MD. They are looking at it and will get back to me tomorrow, but told me they may not be able to do the repair because GM already Paid Porters and won't pay twice for the same repair. I have a call into my GM Rep to see why he told me I could take it to a different dealer. What a mess. Might have to look at Dodge's for my next Truck. When I pay $70,000 for a Pickup truck I expect to be able to get it fixed when there is a Factory defect.

Brought mine in to the dealership for the first oil change a couple weeks ago. Took a road trip last week and then noticed a puddle of oil under the truck. Filter was loose so I just tightened it up. Keeping an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t come lose on its own.

    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
