2015 Jeep Wrangler 4dr SUV

285-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range

7000 mi The engine started slowly leaking oil at 6000 miles. It appears to be a rear main seal leak. Dealer mis-diagnosed problem as oil pan leak, even after dye was added to the system. I'll wait until the mechanic is less busy and bring it back. 
9500 mi Brought the car in for the same oil leak as the June trip. They confirmed that the rear main seal was bad and replaced it. 
12500 mi Check engine light came on showing code P300 multiple cylinder misfire. This code came and went twice over the course of 2 weeks. No noticeable symptoms while driving (this is how it always starts). Dealer applied software update that supposedly resolves this issue. I'm worried that this software buffers the problem and that it will get worse in the future. 
17000 mi Smelled coolant. Dealer performed radiator pressure test. No leaks found.
