My 2017 SS was built in I think March, it had loose oil pan bolts from the factory, I drove it I think like 60k before I noticed the leak enough to go under there and tighten them down.
Did you check the pan bolts? Also I have never heard of the oil cooler o-rings going bad? |

Check your oil cooler coolant hose coming out of the adapter on the block going to the radiator where it turns into about a 6in rubber line. Mine randomly failed, and I had to limp my car home after mine leaked out all the coolant and I had to limp it home and hopefully didn't warp the heads or anything like that.
I know the reasons why things like forgetting to tighten pan bolts and simple rubber coolant hoses failing, but I won't mention it. If you were someone who didn't know about cars you would be taking it in for stuff like that, and the dealer would be trying to get as much money from warranty claims from GM, and a repair place would be doing the same and claiming "you need a new motor" and you would be claiming the car is unreliable and is crap. |
