engine rebuild?

Get on your back and check the bottom of the motor for leaks, I had the drinking oil issue too and thought it was the motor just burning oil or whatever. When I got my oil changed 3 weeks ago the mechanic noticed oil under my transmission and motor where they meet, I took it to nissan and they told me I have a rear main seal leak and its 11 hours labor to fix it!!!!
Also the best part is... IT will not leak when parked even overnight, so youll never know unless u crawl under the car and look. It mainlely only leaks when u are driving.
Also this happened to me right as I hit 60,500 miles. Fresh out of warranty!!

Nissan is trying to F*ck you...
If it is that bad and Nissan will not help, just trade her in and get something else.

I too have the rear seal leaking but with close to 120k on my odometer. I was quoted 7 hrs to remove the aluminium pan and re-seal it with liquid gaskets, never really understood why these things leak in the first place (oh yeah it does leak right after 60k, isn't that wondeful).
The oil consumption on my vehicle is neglible, I will live with the leak till it gets messy and the oil loss is noticeble.
