Consumer Description

The engine oil started leaking on the timing case over bolts. The current mileage is 20500. This happened right after the regular 40,000 mile maintenance. The dealership said it's out of warranty but on a bit of research the aluminum bolts seem to break easily with a lot of similar cases.
