Default The good news is that the repair is not too expensive
I think mine was about $150 at the stealer. However,the leak is mostly cosmetic initially and probably not worth fixing. Mine was done under warranty and should certaintly be checked before your warranty expires. Some dealers don't bother to check this during routine maintenance.

I was losing about 1 quart of oil per month... it was diagnosed and fixed under warranty, so nice to have done.
