So if you go through some of these complaints you'll see a few others, this one I believe ties in to the engine stalling. So same day the engine stalled in the middle of the road I live on, while on the way to the dealer I found out that my engine was hemorrhaging oil. I headed home in a loaner vehicle as always and received a call from the dealer letting me now that when they opened the hood the engine bay was covered in oil. They couldn't figure out where it was coming from but it looks like my car, that was in for a rotation, wasn't going to be ready for a day or two now because they were going to replace all engine gaskets.
ALL ENGINE GASKETS at 9900 miles. I have never replaced a gasket on any vehicle that I have owned, much less before 10k. Imagine my fury when they told me they had no idea where the oil was actually coming from so they replaced gaskets hoping that that fixed the problem. So far only a small amount of grease/oil is in the engine bay at any time and I'm constantly told "that's pulley grease or lubricant, not oil."
