Hello Scotty;
Went to my 70k miles service and they(my lexus dealership ) told me that I have a minimal oil leaking from front timing cover and said they gonna monitor it during my next service visits. Any way they told me it going to cost me near 3,500$
I haven’t skipped a service before and yet that happened!
everything else runs smoothly.
My question is : Does it worth spending that money and keep it OR should I sell the car.
best regards
Moe
First off, never go to a stealership esp. once the vehicle is out of warranty. You can’t trust what any of them say and plus they charge a lot. Second, how do you know there is an oil leak in the first place? Do you have photos and/or did you see with your own eyes? I would definitely have an independent mechanic (one that is trustworthy) verify. Thirdly, if the leak is real, is it a tiny seepage? Even with a tiny seepage you can usually keep an eye on it and live with it for a while.
They showed me the leak during the service and I found few drops in my garage floor.
