Ma Mopar tried to hide the leaks by painting the engine blocks black - it reduces warranty when the customer can't notice.... After painting the blocks black, oil leak warranty claims went down because most people couldn't notice the leaks...
That way they get credit for fixing a problem that they really did nothing productive to fix.... So they get that good performance review....
I prefer the more traditional block colors like small block blue, hemi orange, and red.... That way if there are any oil leaks, I can see them early and get them fixed...
Yes that's true, they shouldn't leak if built right, but the managers there could give a **** about if leaks, they are more concerned with their paychecks and grabbing all the bonuses they can... They have built a culture of putting production numbers before quality on their priority list... They will knowingly ship a quality problem than stop the line and answer to their bosses on why they didn't meet their production numbers that day... The warranty doesn't hit for 3 - 6 months after they shipped it...
