    This is for someone else. Last year the dealer diagnosed a "timing cover leak" and said that on the next maintenance oil change, 6 months later, now into 2025, they would fix it. So fast forward till now. This is the video that the dealer shot. They fixed the cover seal as the vehicle has a 10 year extended warranty. However, when they went to pick up the vehicle they said we found that the PS pump is leaking and we will fix that. Is it possible, that the PS pump was leaking the entire time and it was NOT the cover seal? Like I said it was all covered under warranty... thoughts? I dont see oil behind the pump on the block. Odd that the oil is on the outer firewall faced pump casing. Truck only has about 45k miles on it.
