You can not have an easier repair on the Crossfire than this one.
I have a motorcycle with over 50k miles on it that is 22 years old sitting in my garage for the last 3 years, and it doesn't seep anything at all. If your 5 year old car is seeping oil, there is something wrong with your car. Bat's 10 year old PT Cruiser doesn't leak or seep any oil.
Having an oil leak on an engine is NOT normal.
Engines are supposed to be oil tight.
We won't have a discussion about the things you don't care about.
We understand that they are grandiose in their quantity and subject matter.

Your motorcycle is not a car and should not be compared to the crossfire. If Bat's cruiser doesn't leak then maybe they haven't seen the leak. Maybe they drive it often and don't notice it. I don't know Bat and I can't speak for a car I haven't examined. I guarante with a closer look under the hood they may find a small surprise.
Engines are not 100% air tight. You let a car engine sit too long and it will have a little seepage. I am not talking about a leak. I am talking about seepage. I know there are people out there **** about their engines. I am **** about my car as well.... but I have come to reality on this subject! This is normal in my book... I will not disturb my engine unless it is absolutely needed! I don't care how good the mechanic is. Some things are better left alone until they absolutely need to be tampered with. A small amount of seepage that I can't smell or see unless I break my neck looking under the car is not worth my time or effort.... even for a guy as **** as I am about my toys.
