Fixed it drove it 300 miles. Took it in to dealership for oil change and coolant flush. They knew the belt had broken. Went to pick it up would hardly run so turned around in driveway and took it back. Telling me that developed slight oil leak obviously when got a little hot and slowly been leaking into spark plug boots and now they need replaced.

Hi,

If that is the case, it wouldn't happen all at once. If they changed the oil and coolant, what led them to the oil leak?

Something doesn't sound right.

Let me know.
