My new EX35 leaks engine oil. The transmission was removed and rear main oil seal and oil galley welch plug replaced. That did not fix the problem for long now infiniti has ripped apart my new $45,000 vehicle to replace the short block(lower engine). I feel that Infiniti has a problem with their new integrated rear mail oil seal , it is no longer installed with a bearing carrier just pressed into the block. I feel that Infiniti should replace my vehicle. Ideas, opinions, similar issues? So far a horror show, but politely.

I bought a G37 in Aug, the rear main started leaking at 3400 miles and was replaced last week. the new seal has now started leaking, I turned the car in for repair yesterday with only 3600 miles on it. did your repair work?, currently my car litterly stinks due to burnt oil smell and I may pursue legal action with regard to the California lemon law, I hope Infiniti gets this permenantly repaired. what was your experiance?
