My Geo Metro didn't leak. I had the head rebuilt and then I had it re-rung. It was a very tight and smooth runner after that.
Maybe they had the oil changed at Jiffy Lube then. The only time my Camry has ever had an oil leak is when I got the oil changed at Jiffy Lube. That has happened twice in two different states. Needless to say I do not get my oil changed in Jiffy Lube anymore.

I do my own, except in the Kia I just bought for the wife. I went ahead and paid the extra for ALL the maintenance to e done for the first 60000 miles. That way, she can't yell at me for something being wrong with her car!!

Matter of fact, my truck has over 163000 miles on it, and I still change the oil and filter every three thousand miles. Also, I pay the extra for synthetic oil, as I know the protection it affords.

But the difference is I am 72 years young and do not like to get oil on my hands unless it is coconut oil. Or Sesame oil. Or Grapeseed oil. Or - well you get the picture. If it is edible I will handle it. Otherwise - definitely not my thing! LOL :-) Z

Maybe it's the little old lady that's leaking.

With dry absorbent under the car, I think they are still pushing the concept and will push selling the car on it's own merit once they start production. JMO
