    Went to Valvoline and they said had oil pan gasket leak. It's gone from bad to worse. I can't find anyone who wants to touch it to fix it. I just add oil as needed. Recently, 120,000 miles, it's really bad and now it's smoking out the exhaust when accelerated is hit hard to move faster and it has a constant burnt oil smell.

    Seeping oil from lower engine seal. Fix is to spend $ 3000 pulling the engine and replacing a $ 10 part or putting a $ 5 dollar quart of oil every so often.

    Seems to leak from the oil pan gasket. Cost to replace is prohibitive it seems GM are incapable of producing a vehicle that can be repaired without major surgery. Shame on them. Cured by placing drip pan under vehicle and topping up oil regularly. Embarassing when visiting friends and relatives. It is supposed to be a Cadillac.

    Cad had a recall on the oil pan gasket, which is where my leak is coming from. Car had low mileage and no problem at the time of the recall. Now at 96,000 miles it has become a problem.
