Oil cooler line leak at 12k miles? Is it just me so unlucky?
This is so frustrating, I have had so many issues since i got this C7 Z51:
1000 miles, transmission jerks, get fixed with software update
8000 miles, AFM actuator failed, replaced both
10000 miles, Brake Cooling Duct repositioned, front rotor warped so turned, fixes a few rattles
10000 miles, transmission overheat, known problem
11000 miles, small rattle from rear end, went to 3 dealers, can't find the problem
12000 miles, having detonation problem with Shell 91 gas, dealer says there's no known fix
12000 miles found the front oil cooler line leak when changing oil at a shop.
I'm at beginner level on the track, and it;s just 4 track days on it.I always take to the shops for services, just oil change/brake pad switch/brake fluid replace etc, and I follow the track prep.
Jesus, is it just me being so unlucky?

Cheap quality parts, one of the reasons C7 is one of Consumer Reports un reliable list.

Take any car to the track, beat the **** out of it and stuff is going to fail. The trick is you replace what fails with better stuff and after a while you have something that can take the beating you give it.
