1 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Failure Date: 04/16/2010

2008 Ford f450 oil leak, bought new in 4/08 and truck has been in the shop now 6 times for an oil leak. The leak has been around the front cover, rear main seal, and cam sensor. I left the truck with the dealer for 2 weeks and when I brought it home it leaked as soon as I parked it in driveway. The truck now has 36,514 miles, luckily a 100k mile extended warranty was purchased but the cost for the downtime of the vehicle is far outweighing it's value and now either must be replaced or sold due to the amount of time it will spend in the shop having a chronic oil leak repaired.
