    So maybe people will answer, maybe some won't. Its ok, its part of my grieving process. My 2017 (with a 3.5 V6) has had an interesting life and at about 95k it started to hemorrhage oil out of many seals. Oil pressure sensor o rings, oil pan gasket and also further up in the engine its starting to seep oil out knowing in the future I have 4-5k worth of repairs coming up.

    Has anyone else really seen this or am I just being followed around by a sad panda?

    You don't seem to be alone in this experience as there's been a few low milage 3.5s reported on here with the usual leaks....Timing cover leak, rear main seal leak, coolant bypass pipe leak, etc etc.

    Doesn't seem to be extremely common but it does happen to a few folks.
