The Cost of Freedom

The great freedom of owning a car comes with great responsibilities... :( The mysterious oil leak resurfaced again and this time we're told it is "oil ring seal leaking between the block of the engine and timing chain cover" and given a 1200$ quote for fixing it. It will involve taking the engine out completely and will take 2 days to put it back together!!! Holy s**t! That's besides "CV boots leak" that we were told our car has by another mechanic (after he quoted 2000$ for fixing the oil ring...) Slowly, but surely our maintenance expenses are approaching the original cost of the car. It could have been expected... :( The mechanic said that "this leak is pretty unusual in this sort of engine". So basically it means that we're just very very very unlucky with the car. What a "nice" Xmas surprise! I can't think of a better way to spend this money... :( What happened to feng shui of our house?!?!
