5 Engine Oil Leaking problem of the 2000 GMC Jimmy

Failure Date: 02/12/2003

I have a 1999 chevy blazer, and a 2000 GMC Jimmy, which are both basically the same vehicles. The 99 blazer developed an oil leak from the oil lines at 33,000 miles, and the 2000 now has the same oil lines leaking at 41,000 miles. I have heard that this is a common problem with these vehicles, and engines have been ruined due to the oil lines. I feel that gm should offer to replace the obviously defective oil lines.
