It appears that after 60K Miles the dreaded oil leak has appeared. Ive opened the hood and couldn't see any oil in the valley, so I crawled underneath to see if I get a better look. I almost wished I hadn't. The oil completely circles the oil pan and has even gotten into the passenger side wheel well. I can note that its coming down from a higher point and completely drenching everything. So my question to you all is, who's gone through this and how much did it cost you. Im outta warranty so im hoping this wont be something that sets me back too far or better yet something that may be covered under a recall of some sort. I just dropped it at my dealer today so im keeping my fingers crossed that its something easy and relatively cheap! Let me know of your experience regarding this issue. Thanks

My '11 leaked at the composite oil pan, and it showed just as you described. Mine was still under warranty when it happened so I don't have a cost estimate for you.




Others had leak at turbo connection. I believe they said it showed at the passenger side rear of engine.

Known common leaks on these engines include the turbocharger oil line fittings, the crankcase breather to valve cover seals and the oil pans for the most part. None of these repairs are overly involved or terribly expensive.
