    It's a simple case of the tech noticing stuff and suggesting an upsell. They probably get commission or the hours for fixing the stuff.

    Your car is likely leaking and has been for quite some time.

    LIM frequently shows as fluid on the inteka manifold. Pooling in the lower seections

    Oil pan gasket...show me one that doesn't seep...and I'll admit about 1 in a 100 is dry.

    PS.. probably a moist hose.

    If you started off with a thorough engine cleaning, you'll find the origins of the leaks and be able to fix them for much less. Keep in mind that dealers use OE parts and they have books on what amount of time to charge a customer. That's where their prices come from.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
