Hi everybody,
From Montreal Canada.
I have a beautiful 2012 camaro RS (6 cylinders). 92000 kms. Not driving much during winter.
She's my baby I want her to be my last car (I'm 56)

In Mai 2014, the front cover was leaking oil. It was repaired under warranty.
In Mai 2019, same problem, it was repaired but cost me 1500 Canadian $.
And now, April 2021, same problem again.
Between Mai 2019 and now I drove 11000 kms.
The car was always maintained by a GM dealer, and the 3 repairs were done at the same dealer.

Did anybody experienced the same problem ? Was it fixed ?
Any advice or opinion will be appreciated.

I don't know what to do.
The other camaro V6 owner I know never had that problem, his car is 170000 kms.
The dealer tells me it is not common but not so rare, I am unlucky.
One friend who knows about mechanics suspects there is an underlying problem that may blow up. anytime, I should give up, repair and sell the car asap.
It looks like it is a complex repair, maybe it was not done properly.

Note that I advised GM. She's not under warranty so they can't do anything but a nice lady is trying to deal something with the dealer.

TY
BR

I think your friend is on to something. Either the repair isn't being done properly, or there's something else wrong that's causing the leak to come back, such as a warped or cracked front timing cover.

When they're doing the repair, are they just re-sealing the original cover, or are they replacing it?

Also, where exactly on the cover is it leaking from? There are at least two sealing surfaces. One where the cover mates to the engine block and heads. The other is a shaft seal where the crankshaft passes through it. It might be worth inspecting the crankshaft's sealing surface for nicks, as that could cause a leak as well.
