Yup

When I first had my C-5 convertible I would use the "traction control" button to deactivate the traction control and do broadies in parking lots like a zamboni! That was fun up until time I noticed an oil spot on the garage floor. Fortunately I bought the extended warranty and the dealer took care of the leak. No leaks since and no broadies either, I now have the Michelin Pilot Sports and they were $$$$$ Dinero Maximo anyway.

Had mine leak three times. GM put in new seals each time and looks like the third time was a charm.

Or you can fix it yourself for about $30 if you have the tools...

Also had the leak, but dealer fixed under warranty. They kept the car all day, but doubt it is an 8 hour job.

Just had mine done for about the 4th time. Each side now has needed it. If you have someone do it, make sure you get a warranty for the work. Chances are you may have to redo it. My total bill was 335.00 but extended warranty took care of most of it. Good luck.
