HI there,

They are replacing the entire oil pan ?????

I cannot really speculate on that one. You could have porosity of the casting itself.

As long as they are serving you well, I would not be concerned.

Allthebest, c4c5

CM oil pan leak

The local chevy dealer is replacing the oil pan gasket on my 08 with 15k miles. The gasket looked wet. No real leak. I'll let you know how it turns out when I pick it up.
