I was planning on going back tonight ,I came home for the day to 1) season the cast iron grates on my new char griller grill (charcoal) 2) brew a batch of beer 3) edge all my sidewalks and driveway . But my wife fixed a big dinner and now I'm too stuffed to leave.

took it in for an oil leak, due to the fact she started loosing 3/4 qt in 30 miles suddenly... figured while tghey had it they could re-balance the tires tires since she vibrated in the rear like an outta balance tire or tires.. and also check for an intermittent miss she had at highway speeds...
well they found the oil leak... ICP sensor broke and started spewing oil.. which with the way it broke it went through the connector and shorted it out.. so theyre having to replace both of those... they also found a coolant leak in the small 2" long rubber hose that connects the EGR cooler and oil cooler...
as to the miss.. they discovered that apparently she has 3 DOA fuel injectors... yay....
now heres the fun news... Bill to fix it all $3000.... warranty is only covering the Injectors... which is $1500... yay...
so now due to property taxes, plate registrations, and insurance all hitting me last month... i had no "disposable funds" for this month... so the funds i had saved to put her in the body shop are now going to the repair bill...

yup.. be willing to bet some of it still stems from the injectors that warranty doesnt cover... $119 for the balancing of the tires.... they have the "choice" of whether or not to cover the costs of the diagnosis...
