So the MoCo says but from what I have been reading, the oil pump issue is still a puzzlement for the MoCo and the second gen motor made an attempt to solve the problem but the sump and pump design is basically the same and the design is the source of the issue and not so easy to change. Maybe the third gen motor will get it right; maybe not.

Ask the dealer service manager how they intend to address the issue. First step should be a leak down test and you should see the results.
