Update.

Turns out there was a crack in a hose on the rear part of the system.

I picked it up today.

TY for all the input and suggestions.

Any chance my 2018 Yukon that I bought CPO will be covered for repair? Local GMC wants to charge $500 just to look at it. I've had this car under a year and thought it came with a 12 month 12k mile warranty but am now getting the run around. Surprise surprise!

It pays to read the fine print. Have you read the warranty paperwork where I know it says, "you have to approve diagnostic time and charges and if it is found that the problem is a covered item, you may or may not be still charged that diagnostic fee".

No I didn't. $500 for diagnosis? That's a bit steep, isn't it?

Depends on what they are doing diagnostics on. What is there labor rate per hour? Gauge the time it takes to pinpoint problem. Make doubly sure you get COMPLETE documentation of everything and what they have found and what it will take to fix the problem. You have yet to say what your problem is that you want them to look for.

Did they credit the diagnostic fee towards the repair? GM dealerships are supposed to.

Took mine in a few months ago and they could not find the leak. I found it later and fixed it ourselves and saved $600+.
