Well I just got the 100 point check up from nissan and I am not happy with the results! Here's a list of my problems:
1. Front crank seal leak
2. Oil sending unit leak
3. Rear engine oil seal leak
4. Poss front cover o-rings (not sure what this is)
5. Drive belts

You would think that with all this leaking it would leave an oil spot anywhere I park but it doesn't!
Are these things I can fix myself? Or do I have to fork out some big money to get this crap done? If anyone knows any info please let me know.

Thanks guys

I would strongly suggest taking your car to your own mechanic and getting an honest second opinion. If you don't have a regular mechaninc, try to find someone who can take a look and see what he thinks. If you do need this work done, don't let the dealership do it!

I would definitley have a non dealership shop inspect it. Depending on how many miles you have on your Max, I doubt that your leak on the rear main oil seal is bad. I have a slight slight MICRO seap there and it aint much! I never have a drop from it and every time I am under the car the seap has not advanced at all, and I have been checking it for 2 1/2 years! My oil level is always at full. However, the dealership told me that it was leaking and needed to be replaced! They also told me I needed new CV boots, and that was 30,000 miles ago, and they still have not opened up! It sounds to me like the dealerships are up to shifty practices! The oil sending unit leak can be fixed by your self (assuming it is a REAL LEAK). I think there is a sticky on it, but I am not sure.

9 year old car is bound to have some leaks, just depends on whether it is tiny or major. If you don't notice any driveway leaks, and the oil level is good, I'd save your money. I'm sure they had a high e$timate. You could always get an honest mechanic to double check.

maybe i mis-read, and i usually do...but

are nissan 100 point checkups free right now at stealerships?

Thought I read this, but didn't think it would apply in my town. Nor did I believe it until I read atleast 3 posts for a 100 point inspection. Sorry to steal the topic of the thread.

dang, I go for my 100 point checkup today, now i'm worried. My car feels like its running fine though. Guess I'll wait and see what they day at Nissan.

izzy, i got a flyer in the mail that says "bring this in for your courtesy 100 point full checkup". maybe give them a call and say you lost your flyer or something, or perhaps they wont even care
