Vehicle was repaired under Cadillac dealers warranty. Diagnosis in printout used the term "case halves," which were somehow sealed. The term "major engine" also appeared, which I interpret to mean the repair work was major in extent.

I have not done anything with the leak. The reason is I have never found any oil on the garage floor.
