hey all, so I decided to get my TL-s inspected at an independent mechanics shop... the TL-S has 125000 km which is about 77670 miles. So the mech found the following 'issues':
1. minor engine oil leak. although nothing is dropping onto my garage floor, he says its from some sort of gasket and slowly accumulating on the pan. some sort of seal has worn out. If this was the case, the pan is hot..wouldn't i smell this oil?
2. the rear wheels have alot of 'play' meaning the bearings will need replacement soon. he did mention this seems unusual considering the mileage isnt too high.
3. brakes down to 20% - i will replace brembos myself.
So..just curious if anyone has ran into the above 2 'issues'...i was thinking of going for a 2nd opinion.. but looking for input from all of you.
the car has never been lowered, stock suspension, no aftermarket parts added.
