Hello everyone.

I have a 2014 Cruze LT 1.4 with the "fancy" turbo with 56K miles.

I have had the car for a year now and for the most part am happy with it. I work on my own vehicles as much as I am allowed with limited garage space and tools.

Tonight I did a routine oil change and noticed what appears to be an oil leak on the driver's side underneath. I am not familiar with these engines enough yet to diagnose if it's even oil or not. See pic.


Also, I am quite concerned wit the number of recalls my particular car has. Seeing that I purchased it used, is there a way to know if any of the recalls have been performed already? Id love to be the guy who takes it in and says "fix every recall item" LOL

Thank for any and all guidance

Yes that is what any guy would do, drive into a Dealership and ask they fix any recalls. I don't recall a recall but yes there were a few. I would have established a contact in Service, had them change your Oil for $39.95 or less and check for recalls.

In the mean time enter your vin# here and check yourself

Based on the photo, my first thought is a axle seal is leaking at the trans......a 5yr/100k powertrain repair.

As stated....let a dealer diagnose further.

At the same time they can run the vin# for open recalls.

I don't recall a large number of recalls for 2014 MY Cruze......but there are several warranty extensions for specific components.

The 2014 had a few recalls. The big one was the front right half axle which was a stop sale so if you purchased your Cruze at a GM dealership they had to perform prior to selling the car, even as a used car. You can see what the "open" recalls and service extensions are by creating an account at https://my.chevrolet.com/home and adding your car by VIN to your garage. Any services performed at a GM dealership will show here as well.
