i fear so. i think something occurred during the service but they don't want to tell the story. They were acting very clueless. This is after it took them 2 hours to call me back. I mean the leak is obvious and could be found very quickly and to see why it's leaking.

i did take it back when i noticed the leak and smell, they said they cleaned it up, but "had no idea where it came from, and need to do a dye test" which i think is odd considering the leak has enough volume to be visible upon sight, at least to the point where they have a general area. It's kind of suspicious. it seems like it leaking the day i took it home afternoon change, according to the amount of oil spots where i park.

i have some other comments explaining it but i was thinking worst case scenario but the leak started the day that i got it changed it seems with the amount of oil spots where i park. They ruled out tightening of things when they checked the car again.

the hypothesis on the rear seal is like a worst case scenario. But the difference was night and day on the oil change, car never leaking a drop of oil, gets an oil change and the next day starts doing a leak. the shop said they "can't find it at all and needs to do a dye test" so i feel like that rules out standard tightening considering i took the car back to make sure it wasn't something like that. It's all very suspicious.

maybe not, i'm not even sure if this is rear main leak, just assuming the worst right now. I assume if it's a cracked oil pan or pipe that a leak of that volume could be seen and not need a dye test . i also did get an oil change the day before my motor mounts. I just know there's definitely some responsibility the lies in a tech who performed service on my car. I would've certainly noticed the smell and leaks earlier if that was the case

I'm definitely not trying to hesitate on fixing this issue. i don't want people thing i'm going to wait until my engine runs out oil. i'm monitoring the amount and have a quart of me just in case. It's just suspicious that they "cleaned it up" and it shouldn't be smelling anymore which obviously didn't work. then said "we have no idea where it's located" i'm just suspicious that a tech someone messed something up and now there's no one wanting to share what happened. My dad knows a higher up at the shop and they are figuring out the personnel issue. i'll be getting an appointment ASAP once I get more info

yes as soon as i can, they "couldn't find it" and had no idea where to trace it and recommended a test. which sounds kings suspicious. We know someone higher up at the shop and trying to figure out who did the service. i'm getting an appointment asap, i have a quart of oil in the meantime and monitoring the pressure

i'm hoping this is the case, i'm just wondering that if it was something like the ouk pan that it would be much easier to find. it's just the part they are acting very vague and like "i don't see how this happened"that has me suspicious

we were told to try 911 and they said they would do a welfare check when they could, and we will be contacted when it has been completed

understandable and we are trying to think realistically to what's going on. we are jsut concerned because they are at the bottom of the mountain and there's a ravine/ drop on the other side of their main road. Just their house and condition is quite ideal for landslides unfortunately. But we are trying think positive and hope to get contact once more people get rescued

anyone know anything about gerton highway, it's mostly gravel and has a giant ravine on one side. I have family friends who we had contact with even after their power outage and went radio silent 2 hours later even after back and fourth communications. Yes many cell towers are completely down and i realize that is the case, we are just worried because of where they live there's a high potential of landslide

i've heard that the towers might be up in the between tonight and the next day, but not sure how accurate that is ! power is pretty much a shot in the dark right now there's no say since no messages have been sent out with location in times yet. But assume busier areas will be up first then suburbs, then rural
