2002 GT oil leak?

DSkeet · 11-28-2005, 12:32 PM

Earlier I backed my 02 GT out of the garage to sweep the garage out and noticed a few oil drip stains where the car had been parked. This is the first ever I have noticed this on this car. The car has 38k miles. Is this normal for an engine with such low miles to leak oil? I just had the rear main leak on my GMC truck done and I wonder if this is the same problem. Thanks for any help!

Well, I checked my oil filter seemed ok, hope it's not something serious!

Yeah I would think its that as well. My car leaks from the extra plug in my oil pan. Going to fix it when I change the oil again.
