Got my car back from the dealer, so many leaks!!
Here's the list, straight from the service sheet:
Parking Pawl seal leaking (transmission)
Rear main seal leaking (engine)
Intake gaskets leaking (supercharger/intake assembly)
Oil filler cap assembly leaking (engine valve cover left side)
Crankcase breather hose leaking (air cleaner assembly)
They also replaced the motor mounts and transmission mount.
So glad I have warranty, can't imagine how much the stealer would have charged if I didn't have one. All I had to pay was $33 for a hose. I have the MB extended limited warranty.
Car has 40k miles

seals are the way for the dealer to gouge the warranty company

Had same issues...they just gouged the warranty company...almost the exact same list for me about a month and a half ago. Would have been close to $5k.
Kind of sucks that they do this to the warranty companies...but I do know for a fact that Chrysler (my warranty co.) inspected the car and approved the work.
I was in at 44k miles...

**** thats nuts... seems crazy how soo many leaks... I agree though, dealerships probably raping the warranty... Feel any difference with the replaced mounts?
