Then the mech tells me that an oil leak is common in the k series I'm backing up my side and the mechanic is trying his best to make up bull**** excuses about the problem.

The whole time these 2 are trying to avoid the inevitable but i persist and eventually the mech tells me he'll put it in. Tells me to come back a week later.



Its was sickening to hear the mechanic blatantly make up "facts" about my engine model to avoid doing warranty work.
LOL, I wonder if the sales guys on the floor are telling their customers the same "fact" about Si's when they are trying to sell them.

"Oh, yeah the K20 equipped Si even boasts an impressive oil leak feature that will have your driveway looking like an oil slick in no time!"

Gawd.
