Oil leak

[wanted00]

After passing 1k miles i saw oil at the bottom passenger side skirt. Some was splashed quarter panel.

Anyone else have this problem?

After cool down i will check oil level. Its a GT prem. conv. with GT package.

Another Member had one leak, from the valve covers. The valve covers have a series of seals around the spark plug ports; they can shift during installation. Further, the plastic cover itself can warp if installed incorrectly.

Can you post a picture or two?

Yea, things are a tight fit all-around.

The oil filter is on the opposite side of the engine; that gives us confidence it is not loose.

A leak from the oil pan or drain plug would be more in-line with the center of the car.

If at all possible jack the car up, support with jack stand and peer in further. The belly pan might not allow for much more visibility. An initial check could give some more insight. Otherwise, leave as-is and return to dealer for warranty action.

A more obvious incident from another Member here, also on the Passenger side.

This morning I left to dealer. We will see what happened and how long it will take to fix

Have you had the oil changed? If so, they may not have taken the under carriage cover off. If not, oil will pour from the filter onto the cover...

No, not yet. I was planning to change around 1500 miles. But it didn't hold that long

Good morning. Would you please send over a private message with your VIN and dealer info so I can look into this oil leak concern on my end?

Today I got a call and they said everything is okay. No oil leak. I hope they check every fluid leak
Their guess is it come from road. But it's hard to not feel or slide when passing trough oil and nothing inner wheel well
