Sorry for the delayed response. I didn’t realize I had been signed out and wasn’t getting updates. Anyway, yes it started as a tiny drop of orange fluid on the floor of the garage. I took it to the dealer and all they said was timing chain cover oil leak (which was odd because I know it was...

VERY interesting and very informative thank you. I guess the moral of the story is check coolant level and inspect oil often.
