Head bolts/head gasket?

Look for signs of oil seepage from the head gasket, especially on the intake (back) side of the engine, which doesn't get the attention the front does. I noticed some seepage on mine at 49k mi. They replaced the head gasket and busted/replaced the exhaust manifold in the process. Glad I didn't have to pay for that!
They replaced one of my front wheel bearings trying to run down a thunk in the front end on a backing turn.
My dealer was very cooperative in looking over the vehicle for end of warranty issues. They found and fixed a broken link in the sunroof and a bad cv boot. Funny though they and I didn't notice the leaking head gasket until just after that visit.
