Like many others i found this site while looking up info on oil in antifreeze,and it looks like i am having the exact same problems as everybody else,I have not had any work done yet ,but it looks like i will have to in the near future,I have noticed oil in the water and i have had to add a little antifreeze one time,also have smelled antifreeze and have not found any on the ground under the car.Everyone is right GM does need to recall these cars and fix the problem.I also notice that there was a lawsuit against GM and Dexcool,but i never received any word about a lawsuit
