Cars now leaking oil.....
So picked up the car from Nate took the hour ride home, got out
Oil drops on the drive way, entire rear end of the car is covered in oil, along with the entire undercarriage of the car.. Oil drain plug is tight, haven't been able to get under it to check it out yet but looks like its comming from the back of the engine somewhere. no oil left on the dipstick.
Back story
Had the car to Nate due to some drivability issues, cause was deemed to be the intake valves, so Nate pulled the head and replaced the valves yada yada yada.
Wtf do I do now? How good are the chances that something else didn't get ****ed up on the drive home?

need to get the car in the air to check that i know the oil feed isnt the culprit, valve cover gasket looks good.
and i also know its comming from the back of the engine somewhere, as the front of the engine is clean
looks like the leak is comming from the turbo side of the engine so it may be the return as the oil pan is wet riight around the drain plug, checked the drain plug and that aint the problem

Yeah I would say either feed or return if its coming from there. Sounds like you might have ran it dry though which is bad news. Contact the dealer who did it. Worse comes to worse it sounds like you should be covered considering it was their fault.

either way i still have powertrain warrenty
only problem is the dealer i had it at is about 60 km away from me
could i bring it into a closer dealer just to get it running again?
would a different dealer cover what another dealer might have fucked up?

So nate pulled head and now your having a problem with oil? I'd put my money on Nate messed up with the install or whatever parts were replaced(rings, headgasket, studs etc) were messed up or not installed right. We are all human and being a gm tech especially doesn't make you invincible to messing up.
