This sounds like a problem?

Default This sounds like a problem?

Still in the market looking for a 2010+, found one that might work but have this in the recent service record. The previous owner sold the car just a couple of months after this item was serviced in a dealership.

"INSPECT FOR FLUID LEAKS CS THERE IS A BROWN FLUID LEAKING UNDER VEHICLE ADVISE - FOUND OIL FILTER HOUSING DRAIN BOLT SEALED TO BE ROLLED & PINCHED CAUSING OIL DRIP -

REMOVED OIL FILTER HOUSING BOLT, REPLACED SEAL, AND TORQUED TO PROPER SPEC. ADJUSTED FLUID LEVEL & VERIFIED NO LEAKS"

Is this going to cause problem in the future? much appreciated~!

I kind of doubt it unless the thing had been driven four quarts low for 1000 miles. It's a common problem for the o-ring gasket on the housing to get rolled and drip...at least the customer cared enough to bring it in to get it checked out.

Agree, common problem. Would have been noted by the dealer if oil was very low to cause damage to the engine

Agree. Shouldn't be a problem. If price is right could be your car.
