Oil leak after 10k service

You drop one dealer cause of a bad experience, but the next dealer sucks even more. Anybody experience an oil leak after a service? They are coming to tow it tomorrow.

 

Do you have a skid plate ? Could be back splash that got on your skid plate

 

yep same happened with my truck. the o ring on the oil filter split since they installed it dry

 

I had it once. Deal never cleaned out tha splashed all over.I went back made them clean it up.

 

Glad I got the filter on top instead of that damn cartridge filter.

 

They normally let the rookies do oil changes.

 

I’ve never had it happen to me but my buddy had it happen 2 weeks ago in his GMC, ironically at the 10K service. Oil ran dry the next day on a road trip and the engine seized up.

Believe it or not the dealership owned the mistake and are putting a brand new engine in it and it’s covered by the warranty.

Yup. my son took my 2019 Civic in for the first free oil change at 5k. Mechanic never tightened the drain plug. He got a mile from my house before it came out. Luckily (for them) he pulled right over and shut the car off before the pan was empty.

 

You know what they say about wanting a job done right?

 

Good dealers are NOT ranked by their screw-ups, but by how they own them. This is a good dealership. Mistakes happen, ownership and making it right for the customer is a choice.

 

Because oil leaking all over the engine is better. .

 

Remember the least experienced, least skilled , greenest techs start by doing oil changes and tire rotations .

 

Overfilled maybe? Did you check the level and fill?

 

Keep us posted OP

 

Be glad that's all... My front end timing seal failed (under warranty thankfully) and was fixed for free around the 35,000 km mark. Installing lift last summer around the 50,000km mark I noticed it failed again! This time NOT under warranty cause the 1st fix is expired by 1month.... Putting in a "good will claim" waiting to hear corporate's response. I will likely be out $3k

Anyone else?? Pile of shit..

 

Those timing cover leaks sound like a total shit sandwich.

 

Have you looked to see where it's leaking from?

 

I figured out an excellent way to reduce those dealer fuck ups.


Never let the dealer do standard maintenance on my vehicle.
