71,000 miles on original [brake pads] Oil change but dealer “discovered” slight oil leak under the cover where timing belt is located. Given $10,000 repair estimate to replace engine seals. I reported no oil leak or problems so WHY WOULD THEY LOOK THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE? In order to drum up business or to reduce trade in value since I was looking at new cars while at dealer. Asheville Porsche remember that name.
