Engine Leak

Phoenix_Gilmore · 02-05-2018, 09:26 AM

I will post picture soon. But heres the problem.
I was cleaning my engine bay the other day and I notices that there seems to be some sort of leak on the engine block. There is a bunch of build up and grime. Again I will post pictures soon. Just wanted to see if anyone else has a similar issue and what it may be.

If it's like mid driver side area it's just engine oil seap totally normal but makes a new engine look much older.

Please post pic of location. Ive beard of this issue before and it seems like a common issue on the LTG. I looked a few time but i can not find any oil sipage on my engine bay. Not sure if im looking in the wrong place. Or i may just be blind

It's extremely common. But a pic will help identify if it is abnormal. GM won't fix it unless it's dripping. They consider seepage to be normal.

Ok here are some pictures of the area I’m talking about.

Evil-Bee-NH · 02-06-2018, 04:02 PM

Yep that's same as mine it's normal to GM and fairly common.

Phoenix_Gilmore · 02-06-2018, 04:46 PM

Is it something I need to have fixed? Or will it continue to do it even if I get it fixed?

Evil-Bee-NH · 02-06-2018, 07:54 PM

Will continue all you can do is clean it up.

best thing to do is completely bitch at the dealer to fix it mine is doing it in the same spot its the timing chain cover if I'm not mistaken it means the block isn't siting flush against the cover on mine I can see the gasket where its pushing out
