I made an appointment with the dealer for Friday AM (100k warranty) and I was wondering if there was any other issues or gotchas I should know about.. I am not sure even what is leaking. I also have developed a vibration above 3k that seems to come from the front on acceleration. My theory is I have a bit of oil on my serpantine belt and the vibe is it slipping, but that's only a guess... Any ideas?
