Ummm, this might sound like a stupid question, but are you sure they are leaking? Remember the magic word: STEALERSHIP. j/w

I'd be really cautious about dealing with these people. Take it for a second opinion -- a trusted independent or something like that. 100,000 mi is not a lot for the VQ30, not in a long shot. Don't jump into a 4,000 dollar repair when you don't know if it's even broken.

Find a cheaper mechanic! Also they may be lying to you. You can still drive your car. If you are leaking engine oil, just make sure you check it every so often so that you are not low on oil.

$4000 is ridiculous. You can get a new(er) engine and a turbo with that kind of money.
