Just an FYI for all. I had a puddle of oil on my garage floor last night and found the front of the engine and below had oil all over. So i took it to my dealer and as I suspected the front seals (cam & crank) were leaking and also suggested replacing the PCV system as this might have gotten clogged or due to the recent cold snap here in CT may have gotten frozen up.
This looks to be an 8 hour job plus parts although I get my 25% off parts and they usually work with me on the labor to only the hours they actually put in.
I guess after 310,000 miles I was due.
I'm still driving it gingerly to work until they can get it in the shop. Say a prayer that they keep me under $1k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
