Warranty Oil Drip At Trans?

NickD said:

Usually a drip hole on the AT bell housing, rear seal oil leaks out there, if the pan, capillary action draws it down. Typically most AT fluid is red, engine oil tan to black depending on how long its been in there.

This is the service procedure for the pan. Sometimes those pan bolts work loose.

2013 ECO with 60K:

Was just under the front end to do a oil change. noticed what I think is the trans case with quite a bit of oil on it. A few drops on the floor. I believe motor oil. Trans to engine gasket?

Anyone with an issue like this?

Is`nt the drive train warranty at 60K? Would something like this be covered?

Geez.

For the same price as manuals, would get 26 years of data, have a feeling the Cruze won't last quite that long.
