I was idling my car to recharge the battery (still have the stocker at 50K, oops) and noticed the oil was low. Looked at the engine with a flashlight and watched oil bubble out of the driver's front side lower intake gasket, exactly where that first picture was showing a leak. I am losing a little coolant, but not so much I really noticed. My oil isn't showing any contamination, so I think I lucked out, I will let you guys know what happens when I take it to the dealer. I think my aftermarket extended warranty is about to pay for itself.
Here is a link to an online petition to have GM recall these gaskets and pay for these repairs. Please sign the petition, GM must be made accountable. issed:

My aftermarket warranty (Ultimate Warranty Corp) states in the fine print that they cover "all parts covered during last year of factory warranty," and that means powertrain. They would laugh at me if I tried to have them replace glass. I payed about 1200 for mine and it is good until 100K. I already replaced the blower resistor ($250) and the steering pump ($600), so this repair should make the cost worth it. And I still have 47K miles to go on the warranty.
GM told me the Goodwill repair on this gasket is only for cars with under 50K, so make sure if you are almost at 50K, have it looked at, just in case. I have 53K, so I am glad for the warranty.
Irish, if you researched the glass, can it be removed professionally, or does the glass have to be replaced. I have some pretty deep scratches, but I would deal with them if I had to replace.

I got goodwill for it at 58k. 60k is the upper limit for that, since it's the longest warrany they ever offered from Olds. The glass could be a warranty issue, search here more. It's caused by a known problem with the window mechanism.
Also, your warranty company totally got ripped off on that resistor. The part is less than $20, and it takes less than an hour (close to 30 min) to install.

Yeah, but the main cost was that the dealer charged me $150 for diagnostics and $100 for the repair. They pretended they never saw the issue before, and I hadn't joined this site yet, so I didn't know either. My warranty states in the fine print that it does not cover glass, but I will ask. Maybe they will pay to have the guide replaced.
