Consumer noticed an oil puddle in the driveway after having an oil change performed. This occurred because of a defective intake manifold gasket. The dealership replaced the intake manifold gasket twice with a new designed intake manifold gasket. After three successful oil changes, the oil began to leak from the engine. The mechanic at the dealer stated that the this was a common problem for this model because the original gasket had a defect and it had been replaced by the newly designed gasket.
