Oil leak
Hey I gotta 07 LS & I've had a oil leak for a couple months I thought it was the filter but I changed it & it still leaks. It's a slow leak but every month or so I have to add a couple quarts of oil. Has anybody had this problem or knows what might be the issue? Don't want to pay a dealer $90 to tell me whats wrong

Only way to do it will be to look. Clean it up and then see if you can tell where it's coming from. I've had a transmission cooler line leak, a power steering leak (or blowout might be better term) and a rear main seal leak (total pain in the *** and has not gotten fixed).
I don't know of any common oil leaks on these engines yet, most are still relatively leak free. Do you have the ability to get under the car and do some searching?

If you were thinking it was the oil filter, it could be the oil filter housing. There is a small metal/rubber gasket behind where the housing bolts onto the engine block. It started leaking on my car about a month ago. The part is only about 12$ from the Chevy dealer and I had it installed for free (love family connections) so I can't comment on the labor.
