ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
AN OIL LEAK FROM THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE WAS NOTICED @ 56,000 MILES. THE DEALER RESEALED THE OIL PAN ON VISIT #1(56,733 MI.), REPLACED THE CRANK SEAL ON VISIT #2(59,889 MI.), AND TIGHTED THE TIMING COVER ON VISIT #3 (62,371 MI.). AFTER RESEARCHING THE NHTSA SITE, I FOUND THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM HAS BEEN WELL-DOCUMENTED WITH REGARD TO TSB'S FROM 1995 AND MANY OWNER COMPLAINTS. THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE DIAGNOSED THIS PROBLEM FROM THE BEGINNING AS THE LEAK CONTINUES AS OF THIS DATE. *AK
