2011 C63

I have a 2011 C63 with 19,600 miles and I feel that my car is always on the edge of some sort of catastrophic failure.
At 3400 miles my oil cap blew off and I had a geyser of oil shooting out of my engine and it looked like I was laying a smoke screen. All the belts worked loose because of the oil and I had to have it towed into the shop. Amazingly the shop said everything was ok and there was no loss of compression.
At about 6000 miles I had oil leaking out near the oil filler cap and they replaced a faulty valve. Again, no loss of compression.
At about 17000 miles a small amount of oil was leaking out from the oil filler cap and they replaced the oil filler cap and all appears ok - no more leaks but for god's sake.
I love the car a hell of a lot but it is pretty stressful. Not sure if I would buy another.
