Cadillac Complaint - Oil Leak Or Should I Saw Gusher! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
2003 Cadillac CTS - Complaint
LAPEER, MICHIGAN -- I own a 2003 CTS and while driving oil suddenly started spraying all over the road. Smoke from the oil filled my car and clothes and now I can not remove the smell. The Cadillac dealership informed me the problem was oil was leaking from the crank case valve cover and this only happens is cold weather. This is a known condition by Cadillac and the document ID #1644918 verifies it. The dealership cannot get parts from Cadillac to fix the problem.
In fact the manager was told by Cadillac to go to a junk yard and get the part because they do not know when parts will be in! I want my car fixed and the smell gone!

Did the manager do what he was instructed by Cadillac? Obviously it can't be a gasket if you need to find one at a salvage yard so it must be the cover itself warping I guess. I'm a bit surprised a new gasket and a good tightening down doesn't solve this.

The manager at the dealership was real good about it. I felt they were sort of embarrassed because there was nothing they could do. This is a valve that can get stuck open in very cold weather especially if it got wet. I have since called Cadillac and voiced my complaint. They called the dealership and verified my complaint. Now I have to wait until next week because the case is now elevated.
