Noticed a darker then usual wet spot in driveway for maybe a week...I assumed just condensate from the A/C. Wrong...oil, a little more everyday. Finally checked the oil level and it was below the dipstick. Thankfully I didn't lose oil pressure...after topping off with some spare oil I picked up my 7 quarts and new filter and made it safely home. Now to locate the leak a can of brake cleaner later I started the engine and found my oil filter which was a little past 4000 miles or 50% per computer life was leaking through the case. Was it hit by a rock, manufacturer defect I'll never know?
Anyone experience similar issues, either manufacturer or a specific reason for failure?
Thanks!
