2 quarts is a wimps oil leak. Check out Dubai_86's thread. Now that's an oil leak worth complaining about, LOL.

Big Problems....
Well, the X5 is at the dealer, the engine is pulled, parts on order, they are claiming they have to "re-seal" the engine. They also claim it will be around 50 hours of lablor. Has anyone seen this happen? This is a 4.8 with 2500 miles on it!!
What is the policy to swap the car out for a new one with this type of work I am concerned about issue down the road....

You would need the issue to happen again before the dealer would even consider buying the car back. The dealer if fixing the problem.

I'm taking my new X5 in for the second time to fix an oil leak
I'm taking my 2008 X5 3.0 in for the second time to fix an oil leak. My car has under 1100 miles and the first attempt was thought to be the drain plug seal. I noticed the leak again within a day. At this point its not registering on the oil level monitor. I'm praying its something simple. Not at all pleased they didn't diagnose the problem correctly the first time.

Second attempt to fix oil leak
The dealer acknowledged the car is still leaking, and believes its either a faulty drain plug or possible oil pan defect around the plug since they don't see any oil above that point. This time they inspected the threads on both the pan and plug, found nothing, and then replaced the crush washer again AND the drain plug "just in case".
I took a look under the car this morning before driving it over to the dealer and could see oil about an inch above the drain plug (couldn't see much further up the pan given the undercarriage cover), so I'm a bit skeptical about the drain plug theory. The service mgr thought that could just be blow back from driving. Maybe, in couple days I should know. If it still leaks, they want to replace the oil pan. At that point, I'll probably request to get under the car with them and take a look myself and get others involved.
