Default big problems with my c6

I noticed a leak under my car, I took it in and found my rear diff case has a crack, the dealer looked at my car and told me to come pick it up and a day later the leak gets really bad, now I can't even drive my car and I also noticed a crack in my rear leaf spring is cracked.

Has anybody had these problems ?

Call the dealer to tow it. Flat bed perferably. Do it now! Did you experience a significant amout of wheel hop when you were burning out?

In 18,000 miles I have not had a single problem. Your car is under warranty, have them flatbed back to the dealer and get it fixed.

IMO the dealer is irresponsible to tell you to drive the car with a leaking cracked cover. Hopefully your differential is still okay. If it is, it probably won't be for long if you keep driving it.
