I hope I have not posted this incorrectly. I see no Tech area.
I have a SXT with about 700 miles on it. It is leaking oil, not bad just a couple drops a day. It appears to be from the rear main crank seal area. I know nothing about this engine/trans combo, but the leak is in the trans/engine interface area. BTW, I have been an excellent mechanic all my life. (well, mayby not the first 2-3 years) I took it to the local dealer (I bought it elsewhere) and he checked it out and said everything is fine and normal!
LOL I asked him if he looked up under the car and he said the oil I see there is "Residual Manufacturing Oils". Holy ca-ca Batman! I'm glad he didn't work on it as I wouldn't trust someone like that to do any work on my stuff. Anyways, we have now had the Cali for almost a month and "Residual Manafacturing Oils" keep dripping out onto my garage floor. Does anyone else have this problem? Anyone think I should return the auto to this same idiot or should I drive it the 100 miles to where I purchased it? Thanks, Bob
