Consumer Description

LOWER AND UPPER GASKETS ARE LEAKING. THESE LEAKS DROP ON HOT PARTS OF THE ENGINE AND CREATE SMOKE FUME. I HAD THE LOWER GASKET REPLACED FOR ABOUT $500. I KNOW THAT SIMILAR SERVICES ARE DONE 2 MORE TIMES IN THE HISTORY OF THIS CAR FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM. I DOUBT THAT THERE IS A DESIGN ISSUE ON THIS AREA. *JB
