What the F@#& was chevy thinking?

How bad was the leak??? I would have let it leak let me see not sure how much you charge per hoour but up here in GB they get approx. $95.00 per hour sooooo 95 x12=$1140.00 just in labor??? WOW glad I dont have a Caddy. good luck putting THAT back together, your a great mechanic to take that one on...
with labor parts and a drivers side axle (torn boot and clicking ) they are into this 144000 mile Cadi about $1600 US And the worst part is the pan was almost pouring oil to the point that it would lose a quart every 2 weeks so they couldn't just ignore the problem. They knew it was going to be big so they were prepared for the worst.
