Question for f5fstop

They said they dyed the oil and tracked the leak to the pan gasket. Looks like a bad pan re-seal job or the problem is the rear seal.

Ok, this is my opinon and only my opinion. But if a tech, could not reseal an oil pan correctly, I would not let him mess with pulling the trans and replacing the rear oil seal. Might be time to call Hummer, or head to another dealer. Did your repair order give a time for how long it took him to reseal the pan? I'm curious, to remove the pan, you have to drop the front diff out of the way, and remove the steering gear.
I wonder if he just tried to seal by shooting some sealant in where the leak was located?

Says 5.6 hours

RR Front Diff/Rack to get to oil pan removed resealed
test drive and recheck ok

There is an over excess of white sealent all around the edges of the pan.

Turns out to be my rear engine seal. I tried to tell them the first time it was that. I did not need to dye the oil to see where it was coming from.

The real thing that burns me is they give me an old buick with 35,000 miles on it to drive. I feel like ma and pa kettle.

I think this is the last week to order a 2006 model. I may trade my H3 for another 2006 before the prices go up. I understand not only the 2007's but inventory will also go up in price soon.

Hopefully, an intelligent auditor will bill them back for the first repair, but I don't hold much worth in that happening. But if GM did it more often, the first repair would more likely be the correct repair, and the customer would be happier.
