Keep having a oil leak from the value cover gasket.i have had it fix before and now it is leaking again on my motor and is smoking while driving it. The place says they only give me a 1 yr warranty .it has cost me over $500 before to fix and now the same .need to know if there were a recall.first date of problem was 1/28/2013 and now the same problem.
Engine oil leaks through the exaust pipe from the timing chain cover seal. The burning smell can be smelled almost immediately after purchase. I thought the smell will go away. At 4250 miles, i found oil spot on my drive way. Dealer took out the from part of engine and re-sealed. After repair, i think the engine is still leaking, but the dealer told me that the oil/grease is from the rust proof. I like to get a second opion, but the next available dealer is million miles away. It is going to be a long and disturbing process for me down the road. So, i don't recommand suzuki to anyone, not even people i hate.
