Why can't All GM Vehicles Be Leak Free?

I would just blame it on the tune...
Thread title needs to be updated...should say "Vehicle", not "truck.
So, when I found my Vette, one of the things I asked him was if he ever had any oil leks. He admitted he did and that GM fixed it under warranty. I'd have to check my records to remember where it was leaking from, but I want to say it was the oil pan.
Well, today I brought my Vette in for an oil change and the tech allowed me out into the service bay to watch him and check out the undercarriage since I had not been under it yet.
Guess what I found
? Oil pan had a film of oil on it...looks like it was coming from the front and migrating back. Then I went to the rear and the transmission (manual) also had a film of oil on it.
Nothing dripping but WTF? Car only has 42K miles on it and has never been driven in snow/winter.
GM can make great engines with lots of power...WTF can't they make them not leak?

You just have shitty luck
What is it exactly that you do with vehicles? 
No one in my family has had a vehicle with an oil leak in 12 years (a 95 Suburban traded in in 02).

Mine had that crank sensor o ring thing a month after I bought it. That was it.
I thought it was a rear main, but they put a new sensor in.

No, go to CF and you can read about a LOT of people with oil leaks...same goes for GM truck forums.
Even the tech told me today this is very common.
Okay, then I have awesome luck
