Correct me if I am wrong.... but I may just wait to fix this problem since it is minor. I may wait until it gets worse. I am afraid that if I fix it the problem will just come back anyway after a couple thousand miles. I still have 2 years left on my warranty anyway. Anyone agree with me? Did anyone have the seal replaced and the leak came back? If I can avoid bringing it to the dealer I will!
Had mine replaced a year ago and no leaks so far with 4-5K miles after the new gasket. This is a common problem with these engines and you may not see a leak due to the large splash shield on the bottom on the engine.
