Well damnt

Man I just got my Max on the 3rd of Jan. 125k miles(I know high) GLE, emerald black, brand new nitto tires(455) and some 17 inch aftermarket rims. Paint nearly perfertfect, the car was from AZ and I guess they had it parked so the bumper was in the sun and it got fadded pretty bad. Well I payed $5600, but that included brand new axles and CV joints up front and fixing an oil leak. Well I have had to take it back to the dealer 3 times to get it fixed cause the mechanics keep failing when they diagnose the leak. Well they think they finally found it but it is some seals in and behind the timing cover. Well now I have to shell out another $200 to fix this, I know that is pretty cheap considering the "stealership" wanted about $2000 to fix it, but damnt I am not going to get the car back till next friday, and it has already been up there for a week. I have another car to drive around, but DAMNT!!! I bought this car to drive it, not to have sit at the mechanics getting fixed, and if the mechanic doesn't diagnose it right this time I going to make him pay for me to take it to a competent person. I have checked the previous work and it all looks ok. Oh well sorry I just had to vent. Also you guys have any idea what all could leak from the passenger side of the car, IT IS NOT THE OIL PRESURE SENDING SWITCH, I know that for sure I replaced it just to be sure, and besides it was coming from higher up. I was thinking the crank shaft seal, but wasn't able to rip enough stuff out to verify. Well if you read all that thanks!

Cliff notes:
