Description of the problem | My wife came home from grocery shopping , as we were emptying out the car we noticed a puddle of oil under the car. There was at least a quart of oil on the floor , i looked under the car and could see that it was the rear main seal on the engine. Then i went on the internet and found out that this is a problem on this particular engine of gm , and on most of the cars this happened to gm does not cover it. It ended up costing us $1142. 44 to have it fixed. Since then i have twice taken off the intake , pcv tube and cleaned it out and found excessive moisture in them. This engine also has excessive oil consumption , there was a lawsuit against gm about this and our car is getting new rings installed. I'm hoping this will also solve the rear seal problem. This is a 2013 gmc terrain , 2. 4 liter engine. |
