Re: 2004 Suzuki Forenza - 2.0L Oil Leak
Tim if it were a chrysler, dodge or jeep, the spec is 5" in dia. in 30 min. that's for a warr. repair. personally if it hits the ground they get an est.
just be careful, I wouldn't want you to fix there seepage then complain because its seeping again and its a normal condition. good luck
