Default Axle Leak?

Apologies if this is a dupe. Did GM finally get the seals on the transaxle right? Or does the C6 still piddle like the C5?

Don't think I've seen a post from anyone who had this problem. There's now a sticky for C6 FAQ that includes reported problems in the C6 General section. Didn't see it listed there.

Last years as well as those before
My '03 has been in for three "fixes". The last one lasted about 10,000 mi.
However I just noticed a few telltale drips in the garage (light for now).
So I guess it's back to the drawing board. I'm sure they will fix it eventually.
I've got tons of patience AND time before the warranties expire!

Same here, three or four "fixes" on an '03, I've lost count. But not warranty coverage, yet.
