so they put o rings on the hpop lines???? really!!!! so after they hosed you for a gasket you didn't need they put 50 cents worth of parts on in less than 15 minutes to fix the original problem.

Looks like the valley is dry now but I still have fresh drips every day and this is day 4.

How long should the residual drippage continue?

It will drip for quite a while, I'd get some de-greaser & spray the valley of the engine good & wash it off with a garden hose then just let the hose run a while right on the valley of the engine. Hopefully most of the stuff will wash off the back of the engine.

I agree with the dealer trying to screw u and would try to take it to the higher ups if possible. I also agree if u dont have time or wana do the work yourself look for a tech or use to be tech to do work for you at his own garage like i do with many of my friends,family and all of theres and the word spreads. I usually do work for most people for half the cost of taking it to the shop. I hate people like that, not to many honest shops anymore, now with bad economy even worse so watch out.
