So I took the GTP in to the Chevy dealership near my work to get a few things looked at... one thing nice is that labor down by my work is only $65/hr through the dealership.
However, one of my current issues is that my oil pan is leaking and the gasket needs to be replaced. I do oil changes every 6k and usually at 5k I need to put in about a quarter of a quart. It maybe drips a few drops each week, but it is definitely not a huge leak by any means.
The problem with the fix is that it takes 5.5 hours of labor because there is a lot to take off, etc.. So, the total cost of the fix is around $425 just to replace the damn gasket.
Do you think that it is worth getting the work done now or holding off? I hate having an oil leak (even though it's small), but what should one expect with 136k.
I have the $$$ (that's not the issue), but I am 50/50 on wanting to spend it on something small that won't really affect the driving. I would like to see 180k - 200k out of the car and I drive around 20k -22k each year in it.
Would you do it?
