Default Does it or doesn't it Leak?


Feelings: Big sinking feeling on a new car with few miles. Major trauma...(not really, just disappointed).

Subject car: 2003 Z06...1300 miles...driven sanely.

Events: Differential fluid leaks on floor three times after being driven. First time, a puddle the size of one silver dollar, second time about two silver dollars, third time about the size of one silver dollar.

Local dealer looks at differential and says "it needs a new seal..drop the rear end and no it's not coming from the vent".

NOW...it quit leaking.

Question...leave it alone or go ahead and let 'em wrench it?

Leaks do not fix themselves, it seems GM doesn't care to fix the diff problem. Sorry, but I vote you take it to the Chevy Stealer.

It always sucks when a new car has a problem. I hate taking m car to the dealership. They are used to fixing neons, or cavaliers and we are supposed to trust them with out z's or vipers. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I waited until I had three issues that needed to be fixed. Good luck.
