Garage are sending through the full job scope by email 2moro but the quoted costs are $1350. They say that it's and engine and tranny out job which is presume that it probably is, not much space under there.

Has anyone had a similar problem and what did it cost.
So was mine leaking and told when having a service done prior to a huge 4K Melb, QLD, Melb trip. Was told to monitor oil and 10K later had not used any noticeable oil.

If not noticeable on ground or in oil usage try a product oil additive that is supposed to expand engine seals.

Plenty around and priced from $15 to $100+

Google...

I haven't bothered doing anything and cannot see any oil on the ground.

Good luck and please let us know how you get on.
