So, after reading alot of the threads, I'm guessing an oil leak is pretty common with our lovely babys. Well.. how do I stop it??

I just changed the oil over the weekend, and right before changing it I noticed some oil leaking... nothing big at all.. not even a drop on the ground.

Now, after changing the oil and making sure verything was tight, there are oil marks on the ground....

I heard of head gaskets, valve something rathers...so what do I do??

And if I do need to replace, lets say a gasket or something major, would an extended warrenty pay for it??

Thanks a bunch!!

Mine has leaks too (03 SE) - not showing on the ground.It's in the shop now to get them fixed under warranty, I'll let you know what happens.

Dealer said they couldn't find any leaks

 

I would crawl under neight and look for your self. If you van find drips then go see the dealer and have them put it on a lift so you can look with them.
If you only have damp oil residue build up they won't cover that.
