One other possibility is a leak from the oil breather lines at the rear of the engine . I got this problem a while ago fixed under extended warranty. Whatever the leak is they should be able to easily locate the source IMO.

I've changed that too. There is nothing that hasn't been changed on this X. IMO it is probably, something that hasn't been tightened enough and now its a very slow leak.

No, I'd expect to be a long process. Just wanted to see how long it takes with these things..

My bet is still on the cam seals..

You are probably right. Is that a tough job? I have the warranty thank God, but my point is how long and where is it? Thanks...

I thought front seal is between engine and tranny. Rear seal, tranny and drive train. If that is true, whats so funny?
