oil leak
Mine had an oil leak when i bought it (5 wks ago), part of the deal was to do some work on it, oil leak being one. The dealer cleaned the engine and added dye to the oil. I drove it for two weeks and took it back in. It was leaking from the front of the oil pan, and the front of the engine, showed up great with the dye and a black light. It's still at dealer because I wanted all the seals that they replaced to set good before bring it home. I like to do all the work on my cars, so I know exactly what has been done to them and how it has been done but those front seals look like a bear to replace on a 96. Technology has killed the shade tree mechanics ability to work on vehicles....
