problem #1

Jan 252008

Malibu LTZ 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 34,387 miles

Noticed oil puddle on driveway, checked under car to find underside covered with oil film. Oil drain plug and oil filter both secure. Got car to dealership, they changed oil pan seal, still leaking, they then changed the "rear engine seal" between transmission and engine block and no more leak. Dealership rep said this was unusual and rarely seen nowadays.

Good service, no bull.
