Yeah... the E70 has some issues. especially the 4.8L. Very oil and coolant leak prone from several places. Not just the oil cooler thermostat. If that's all that is leaking on your X and you want to get rid of it, I would get that fixed and then dump it for something else. These cars aren't friendly to folks that bring it to the dealership. They begin to cost a lot of $$$ around your mileage. If the valve covers haven't been done, expect those to go out soon. Oh, and the valley pan, and valley pipe, upper timing gaskets, maybe a few other things...
