It is bad enough I am adding .5 qt of oil every 1000 miles. But now it looks like I have a bad gasket.
A vehicle built in 90's or earlier could expect this but a 2014?
Only 36K miles, don't know how long it has been leaking. Not dripping on ground yet so didn't notice.
But recently underneath and saw all the oily grime on cross member behind oil pan.
Followed it to drivers side engine mount and up some other pieces to valve cover.
Assume this will be covered under the 5yr/60k portion of warranty.
I really hate to have dealer or anyone touch my vehicles. Usually leads to more problems.
Always take care of most issues myself even under warranty unless big expense.
My Miatas and other vehicles a valve cover gasket is easy replacement.
But this looks like quite a challenge especially on the Drivers side.
