I recently purchased a new '06 CTS-V and it is currently in the shop getting the rear axle pinion seal replaced. Only 920 miles and was leaking pretty bad.

 

I have a 2006 Pontiac Solstice, which uses the same differential.

We have a VERY serious problem with pinion seal leaks, perhaps as many as 10% of the total produced, which would be around 2000 with leaks.

Many of our owners also have a whine coming from the rear differential. GM has replaced some of the rear carriers, which usually takes care of the problem. One of our owners is on his third carrier already, and yep, the whine has returned AGAIN!

We were told that the CTS was experiencing similar problems. But this forum has only two people posting about it????

 

I have a 2003 cts with a pretty healthy leak coming from the left rear axle seal and also a leak coming from the transmission where the shift link connects. the repair is 1300 for both peices of rubber not including labor.

 

I just had my rear axle pinion seal fixed on my 3.6 liter 2006 CTS with 13,600 miles. Mine would drip several times after driving and then stop.

 

Our 2007 leaked at the pinon seal at just over 1,000 miles. Part had to be ordered, so I thought it was rare! Got lube on both exhaust pipes and you could smell it.
