My 04 has one fix so far and I'll bring it back for the second time - leaking again.

My 2001 is being fixed for the second time as we speak. It only has 9000 miles on it.

I had the new seals put on about a 18 months ago. Had a leak and then replaced the cover cause GM changed their solution from sealant to a new cover. . Then I had another leak 2 months ago and they sealed it. Now I'm having another leak.

Once on my "03 Coupe at about 2500 miles. Dealer seems to have done a good job. Nothing since, knock on wood!

Twice for me! Although the first fix was performed by an inept dealer.

Once. Out of warranty (of course). Fixed at MTI using new design seal, new o-ring and red anaerobic sealant. Been dry ever since.

Yep 4 times here.....I have a feeling another one is coming on....Damn GM...sometimes it makes me think that the Mercedes E55 I traded in wasn't so bad....
