Best guess is they over filled the oil. Pretty expensive labor cost to them, and a big pain in the a$$ to me.

Welp, after further investigation, it looks like the main seal is now to culprit.

Nope. no visible leak now either.

Pretty much in total aggrement.

Thanks, will try the cabin filter. Unfortunately I do smell it out side too, near the engine bay. After the engine clean endeavor next Tuesday, I fear that won't solve it, so GM will send someone out to take a look.

So, I tool my 5BW in for it's first oil change at the dealer and when I arrive home and pull in garage, and smell burnt oil from the ventilation system. I return back to the dealer, and sure enough a small oil leak is discovered at the oil pan gasket. After a short wait for parts to arrive, I...

Excellent, thanks! Back to the repair shop....

Currently I'm driving a 19 Audi RS-5, which is very nice, but not manual, and the ride is quite stiff. The roads out here are not that good. Great track car, but for a daily driver not optimal. I saw some review videos of the CT5-V BW back in 2021 and learned about the magnetic ride control and...
