The mechanic told me that the right front cylinder head gasket is leaking a bit. He said it was common in these cars and that it can sometimes be helped by re-torquing the bolts. He said it was not an immediate problem but could cause a problem down the road and would run $1500 to replace.
He also noticed a leak from the oil pump seal which he said could be fixed for $250.
Finally, he said that the car would need a major service at 60k, which would run about $775.
He said there was no evidence of oil sludge, the tires looked fine and that the brakes had 75% life left on them.
