Brought my Outback to the stealer for the routine (112500km) service but got a surprised call that there is a "upper sump leak" and need to be fixed - total bill of $2,800 (including the cost of the service).
The "upper sump leak" repair is taken care of as luckily I have extended warranty.
What actually is "upper sump leak"? I do not see any oil mark under the car (I do the in-between oil change myself) or on the ground. What signs and symptoms will an "upper sump leak" show?
The dealer said it is a 15 hrs job so I wont have my car back by Friday the earliest!
