    ^for real. They said they initially found oil around the main seal (crank), but after dying and running, no dyed oil was detected.

    I got the truck and popped the hood outside of service. I looked at the valve covers and cam sensors, and of course... they're dry as a bone.

    So, I am to continue driving it and bring it back at 10k. Bullshit.

    Sorry you got to go through these birth pains of the new 3rd gen.

    Patiently waiting for many issues to clear up... until then I'll drive my 300,000 mile Mazda MX-3, or just buy the bullet proof 2.7L 5MT AC 4x4.

    Appreciate the support. What agitates me is, "We know there's a problem, but we don't know how to find it."

    That's exactly what I insinuated to the manager.
