should be a warranty issue. have you gotten an oil change yet? (youre not supposed to until 5000 miles) if you did, and the washer (cant remember what its called) wasnt replaced, that could be whats causing the leak. places like jiffy lube probably wont replace the washer unless you give them a replacement to put in ($0.25 from the dealer)

You can get the washers, last time I checked, from HPARTS..COM for 10 cents a piece...just an FYI.

To clean the oil spots on your carpets, first take them out and dust it off. Then use some liquid detergent, dishwashing soap will do. Dillute it a bit and treat the spot, work it in with a small brush, like a toothbrush. Wet the entire carpet and keep it wet by putting the entire carpet in a trash bag for one day. The next day, rinse it out, then let it air dry one or two days.

Well, just reread your thread, on the floor, treat the floor then. Best of luck!

I got an oil change at the local dealership about a month ago and since then I've noticed a tiny oil stain under where I park my car keep growing and growing, a little bit each day. I finally took it back to the dealership today and they said that they'd have to keep it all day and I'd have to bring it back tomorrow if they didn't get the part in that they needed. I'm not sure what the matter is just yet. I thought it would be a simple problem. I figure whatever it is, it should be covered by the warranty. Right?

There was a service bullitin a while ago about a leaky seal that was causing an oil leak. May wanna search see of you can find it. Either way it is a warrenty issue take it in and have it looked at.
