Default Trans leak

My trans started leaking after 8,000 miles so I took it to my local dealership and this is what I got. Has anyone else had this happen to them?s1283.photobucket.com/user/unionthug74/media/image_zpscf7d7e7d.jpg.html][/URL]

Are there any GM mechanics that can verify that this is common practice? Or is this just an example of them being lazy?

Yeah it's silicone. Me and this dealership are not on good terms right now. After getting into heated discussions with every manager there they say that they will drop the trans and re-seal it. But if they come to the determination that the bolt ons caused the leak then I will be charged the labor cost.

Have you found the dip stick for the tranny yet?

I'd like to meet the dumb *** who came up with that bright idea.
