Patrick,
I'd try the dealer. If the dealer turns you down or gives you the
run-around then it's time to jump up the food chain at Chevy. I'll see if I
can dig up the appropriate # at the Chevy Customer Assistance Center (one of
my customers) for complaints like you've got.
My question to you is: has the dealer done any servicing in the recent past
that might have disturbed the pan/timing cover gaskets? That's more fuel
for getting the dealer fix.
