There are some "famous" issues with the 2010 that I read amongst the discussion on this forum.
My 2010 LS3 Camaro engine with 40k miles is now having some oil leaks around the oil pan/oil cooler area, and coolant leak @ the driver side cooler hose to engine block fitting area.
Is there any reliable shop/dealer around Los Angeles/Orange County, who worth the recommendation from you , I would like to hear it.
Thanks.

I've had good experiences with Camino Real Chevrolet if you are looking for a dealer. Not sure what their prices are like outside of warranty though.

Heard a lot of good experiences from Camino Real but never used them. The oil cooler issue I believe was a recall issue so that should be covered, if not there was a 5yr/100k mile power train warranty for the '10's as long as you aren't too heavily modified you should be ok.

Haven't seen the coolant one before....

I think the oil was a TSB, CMS fixed mine in ~2011. Only other times I have seen (see seen not read on Internet) coolant issues on the 5th gen was a cracked radiator where the two materials meet.

Good luck with camino real, they have lots of happy customers around these parts.

Unfortunately, the car is just barely passing 5 years new, they deny the warranty right at the second that past 5year. Although, both issues were very well discussed on this forum.
Thanks for your input.

My car is leaking on the driver side engine block fitting where the oil cooler hose connected to.
Thanks for chiming in.
