I can understand one thing going but it would seem extremely coincidental to have two leaks in similar places at the same time, and why would this not have picked up when they were carrying out the first piece of work. My concerns are, for a car of this age, why would we get more than oil leak. On the invoice it says they have replaced the Rocker Cover Gasket (presume this is the Timing Case Cover?) and have sealed the oil cranks. they have carried out the incorrect work). Are these different and would this be why we still have a leak (i.e. Interestingly enough, on the Invoice, despite it saying above that we require a crankshaft oil seal, it says that we require a camshaft oil seal. They are cleaning up first to establish this and then want this driven to see if they can identify where this is coming from. It has gone back today for diagnosis but it sounds like the dealership are suggesting this is a new leak. The work was done to great expense, and lo and behold, like other posters in this thread, straight away on return of the vehicle, it is still leaking. On diagnosis by the Nissan garage we were told that we had an oil leak from the Timing Case Cover and we require a new cover and a crankshaft oil seal. The car has been regularly serviced through a Nissan dealer and we have not driven excessively (circa 28k miles on the clock). We have a 2017 Diesel X-Trail that recently developed an oil leak. Joining the thread and after some advice on what sounds a similar issue.
Nissan X-Trail - Nissan X-Trail 2017/Timing belt cover leak - Whytecliffe Do you think i should pay for repair work? i have logged a case with Nissan but they haven't come back to me yet and my vehicle is still at dealership. Sounds to me this has been faulty since day 1 and wasn't repaired properly but vehicle is out of warranty now. It has done 28k miles till date so 18k since i bought it. I have been quoted ~1000 gbp for works to replace the cover and reseal.ĭoes timing chain cover break so often? I drive my vehicle in/around the city. 2020 COVID happened so vehicle wasn't serviced but this year 2021, it went back to Nissan dealership for MOT and service and guess what, the same leak has happened again. They were prompt and replaced the timing belt cover under warranty in 2019 when they found the source after inspection. Almost an year after owning the vehicle, i noticed oil on the driveway so called up service centre. I bought an used X-Trail from Nissan dealership in May 2018, under an year old and had done 10k miles. Not much of a car expert so looking for some advice here.
