So true.

My dad had early onset Alzheimer's with symptoms in his forties. Over twenty years before he passed.

My poor Mom.

My poor (late) Mom had it real bad in her later years too. Not Alzheimer's, but dementia so bad she was almost like a little kid.

If I was a betting man, I would say there is a high probability that you are both being less than truthful.

I can't remember everything that was brought up in this thread, but did you ever see any oil spots in your garage/driveway/parking lot?

No absolutely none!

That being said, I don't always park in the same spot (parking garage), so it might be hard to tell. But, truly, there were no obvious spots on the ground!

Well they're notorious for leaking. Maybe it was just enough to dampen the undercarriage and not really drip.

But hey, give GM a break! They just started building cars a few years ago -- they need time to figure out gasket technology.

When I bought my '07 five years ago, part of the deal was to fix the oil leak before I picked it up. They (a dealer) did and it's been fine since.
