Question rear main seal at 60k miles?

2005 SS/SC 60k miles:


60k miles and my car has a small rear main seal leak. Does that sound right? Gm is going to take care of it for free. Seriously I know chevys suffer from oil leaks, but at 60k? I am lucky to have the hook up at a dealership. I noticed it was a half quart low when I bought it. I added it back in for a week until I changed it today. Is this common?

If the oil wasn't changed for a while and you added oil that could've washed some of the sludge and buildup away, making it leak worse

Gotta remember its also 8yrs old and the rear main seals are semi common issue although I though it was mostly LNFs that had the issue
