Transmission fluid leak

A couple months ago I had the transmission cooling line replaced because of a leak. Over the last month I had noticed dark spots on the driveway but didn’t see any oil like the first time with the Cooling Line. In the beginning I thought it was one of my kids cars. So I started to park the Malibu in different areas in the driveway and noticed more dark spots but no oil puddles. Yesterday I looked under the Malibu and seen oil residue on the Transmission.. I told myself No F-------Way. So I took a rag and put it on a stick to touch an area that looked wet, sure enough it was Transmission Fluid. Called dealership today for appointment again:mad:. It has been one problem after another with this car. Has anybody else had any Transmission problems? PS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 14,000 + MILES ON IT.

Never really heard much about this being an issue. Thankfully mine is okay so far.
I looked at mine a few weeks ago, bone dry.
Haven't noticed any leaks on mine. Maybe it was an 08 problem. Never buy a new car the first year it comes out.
2008 isn't the first year of the 3.6/A6 in the epsilon. 2007 was in the G6 GTP and Aura XR. I had one (G6 GTP), never had any issues. Had 45K on it when I traded it in for the Malibu.
My syncros are shot I can barely get it into 3rd, any suggestion on wheter to rebuild, buy reman, swap a used one, or sell the car?
For your "1981"?

This is a thread about 2008-Up Malibus.
