Default C6 differential leaks?

I did a search and din't find much. I am thinking about buying an '08 and would like to know if the C6 is experiencing the "leak" problem that hit so many C5 differentials. I don't want to deal with that again!

My 07 C6 had a rear axle seal replaced at 50 miles!
Hey, s... happens and I haven't had a burp since.
Once you rack up the miles it's not uncommon to need seals in a four year period of time. If you could see the seal and how it operates you can understand how they can fail. Part of the ownership experience.
