I've dealt with similar leaks like this in the past and they have all started slow and then progressed over time. This went from no leaks (the tech even commented on how clean the underside was) to blowing through a quart of oil every 200-300 miles. The only difference was the oil change.
If it isn't related, then this is just a terribly timed coincidence
What I meant by oil issues is that I knew of the N63 recalls and going through oil when I bought it so I wanted to start off with a fresh oil change. I had been under the vehicle when I purchased it and earlier that day before the oil change. I had only put about 300 miles on it before I took it in for the oil change so yes, I hadnt had it long.

If seller knows the whole story, the $750 sounds like a good deal. You can always ask for one half of the $1,500 from the the shop or even one fourth which would cut your loss. Will the shop that fixed it provide you with an invoice for only the work done to correct the filter problem?
