Oil leak?
I have a 2018 Chevrolet equinox that was leaking
alot of oil back in February 2019. The dealership
installed a new oil pan and refilled the engine oil. It
was still leaking mid March so I took it in again and
they said it was residual oil from the repair and
cleaned it up. I asked if it would be residual oil
even though it was still leaking a month later and I
showed him pictures of it. Its alot of oil in my
opinion. He said it's normal. I have had the car
almost a year and up until February I never saw any
liquid under my car only the occasional water from
the ac or rain water. It's now April and it's still
leaking. I dont have the original pictures from
February but I have some from March and April
and one more from yesterday after I cleaned up the
previous oil on the garage floor. My car has also
been to the car wash twice since they replaced the
oil pan. I called at the end of March to make
another appointment and the same guy told me to
just keep watching it because it's probably still
residual because they changed it in february and
cleaned up the residual 4 weeks later. I'm thinking
about taking it to another dealership to be checked
out. Any thoughts if this still should be happening,
is it residual like he says?
This is from March
This is from April
a 2nd opinion is always good and the vehicle should still be under factory warranty make them fix it. if you cant get satisfaction from the service writer go over his head to the dealership owner if you have to...…. owners don't like to have their chains pulled
The dealer is BS'ing you. There is a problem. I would take it to another Chevy dealer for diagnosis or perhaps an independent mechanic.
Do a recall or factory repair search!
Sadly the dealer most likely missed the rear main seal leaking and won’t get it paid under warranty. Get a different opinion. GM warranty coverage is terrible! I only have been a mechanic and service manager nearly 30 years of my career. I fought with GM all the time for customers. No one does this anymore.
GM is a piece of shit!! I have always bought American in my 58 years on this planet but NO MORE! I have a GMC 2009 Canyon , bought in 2010 and the tiniest most bullshit things break on this truck. I hate it and HATE GM. NO MORE!!!!
check the valley of valve cover gasket. (where the injectors and spark plugs sit) If there oil there needs valve cover gasket.
