(Hmm of course it would have to be the rear one and not the front one that is covered under the recall)

3. Rear main seal is leaking

(could definatly leak a lot of oil)

DAMN! I don't even know what that stuff is! They said around 2K to repair it. I dont have that kind of money!

They adised me to do an oil change (which I need to do) and add some dye to it. Also before the oil change clean under the car and other areas.

How bad does this sound? What can I do!?!?

("They adised me to do an oil change (which I need to do) and add some dye to it."

So pretty much what I get from this sentence is...they don't know where it is leaking from.)


I agree with getting another opinion. If you want to try to find where it is leaking from I would also advise against using the pressure washer under the hood; instead use either brake cleaner or carb cleaner and that will wash any oil away, making it easier to find new oil.

Good Luck
