Oil Leak

[parrothead]

I have a 2009 Cabrio that just hit 400 miles. I noticed a little oil on the garage floor and I thought that it might have been some factory coating of oil on the engine that was working it's way down the engine. Well, it has gotten worse so I'm going to have to take it in. Has anyone else had any problems with a slight oil leak?

no leak s on mine. O think one other had a oil problem in the past.

Way back buried somewhere here in threads there was someone who had a post about an oil leak. Poster didn't post too much and we never heard the outcome so it had to be chalked off as an event that never really happened. I can't remember the name of the thread but I think it was "oil leak" too or something along those lines.

I am useless when comes to searching using the search engine here so I can't help there.

I thought he said they gave him a new smart and sent his back to the factory
