I assume this talk about the oil pan means you are leaking oil from the oil pan gasket? If so:
1. - Has anyone tried checking the bolts to the pan, ensure they are all properly torqued?
2. - I know oil pan gaskets sometimes fail, but it's not something I hear of often in GM's. Has it been verified you are loosing oil by the pan gasket and not another location? Such as loose drain plug, faulty drain plug seal (there is a ring that should be replaced once in a while on the drain plug), oil filter gasket is clear of debris and on tight, oil pressure switch is not leaking (happens often when that one fails), and there are a few others I might be missing.
