Description of the problem	Had oil change on feb 5, 2019. Feb. 9, 2019 had someone ask if i had an oil leak. I saw a trail of oil up my driveway and into my garage. There was a massive amount of oil under my vehicle. Luckily it was stationary in the garage. If i hadn't had someone see it before i drove it again my engine would have seized up. There were no warning lights that came on. Weather conditions have been bad this year with record low temperatures, snow and icy roadways. If i had driven this with, my nine-year-old son and had been on the highway or interstate i drive everyday it could have been a dangerous situation. My pcv clogged from the accumulated moisture getting frozen. Chevy has a service bulletin (#14882) on this, however my vin was not included. There are many complaints with the same problem that are also not included in the service bulletin.
