I BOUGHT A USED 2006 DTS CADILLAC FROM A DEALER IN OH. BROUGHT IT HOME AND HAD MY MECHANIC GO THRU IT. HE SHOWED ME AN OIL LEAK AND SAID THE OIL PAN GASKET HAD BEEN REPAIRED. MY MECHANIC SAID HE WOULD NOT FIX THE LEAK BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MUCH INVOLVED. I HAVE SINCE SEEN THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR VEHICLE. SHOULD BE A RECALL. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED. ALSO FOUND OUT THERE WERE 4 OTHER RECALLS ON THIS CAR. CADILLAC SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS OIL LEAK. MILEAGE IS 81,000

I OWN A 2006 CADILLAC DTS WHICH I BOUGHT AT AN AUCTION WITH 138,000 MILES. WELL MAINTAINED AND ZERO OBD2 CODES. IT RAN GREAT BUT HAD A SMALL OIL LEAK WHICH HAS PROGRESSED TO THE WHOLE UNDERSIDE OF THE PASSENGER ENGINE BEING WET WITH OIL. SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM EITHER THE CRANKCASE OR OIL PAN GASKET WHICH ARE BOTH REQUIRED TO PULL THE ENGINE TO REPAIR, EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE AND THE AVERAGE PERSON CANNOT AFFORD THESE REPAIRS. HORRIBLE DESIGN FOR SUCH A DIFFICULT ENGINE TO WORK ON. OTHER THEN THAT THE CAR RUNS EXTREMELY WELL, NO OTHER PROBLEMS AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED BY ME AND PREVIOUS OWNER.

NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON BOTH THE CRANKCASE AND OIL PAN AS THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THESE ISSUES. OIL SHOULD NOT LEAK FROM A PARKED CAR NOT RUNNING. DANGEROUS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND OTHER DRIVERS. NO WONDER WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ENVIRONMENT, ALL GM CARES A...
