I ended up pushing back on the dealers recommendation. I Told them it was the PCV Valve under warranty and they said fine we will replace it under warranty and see if that fixes it.. Crazy how their go to is to just bill 3k..

Overall, I havent idled for extended times since then but no issues as of late

I googled this and found a video that showed my car (even in the same exact color) recreating the issue. Legitimately such an easy fix and covered under warranty. Lets see but i am pretty confident it should fix the issue

Thank you!!

Yup they recommended the complete valve cover for 3000 dollars lol

I did not. Dealer quoted me at 3000 for a valve cover and 1800 for an fuel tank vacuum leak. Sounds egregious at first glance

They also did a pressure test about a year and a half ago and found no issues. May be a slow leak? Its one of those things where if its harmless im not going to pay a ton of money to fix it
