move this to whatever forum you need to, i just need some help

i won a MY02 S2000, and it has 28,000 miles on it. Recently, i've been noticing drops of oil on my driveway, so i jacked my car up and called some car friends. They came over, took one look at it, and told me it was the Rear main seal. I called the stealership, they said theyd call me back, so i got fed up and just went in. They were really shitty with me at the dealership, and told me it would cost me 555 dollars in labor. I was like, how about my warranty, and they said my 3 year/36000 mile warranty was up in may, because the original owner bought it in may-02, and they weren't going to work with me. I then called Honda Corporate Office and filed a claim or whatever, and they said they'd get back to me within 48 hours. Is there anything else i can do? I do not want to pay for this as Rear Main seals DO NOT give up on Honds at 28,000 miles. Thanks in advance for the help guys.

 

k, scratch that, i found the real problem, details tomorrow, thanks for the help

 

Be glad you don't have a Boxster. Their rear main seal (RMS) goes out about every 8,000-10,000 miles. Fortunately, they have a 4 year warranty, but the car is in the shop for several days. For owners out of warranty, it is about a $1,200 repair and Porsche hasn't come up with a permanent fix yet after all these years.

 

haha, well um, i found the REAL problem, and its rather funny...but not really...details tomorrow.
