My father in-law's '05 7th gen Civic GLi with 50,000km on the clock yesterday started flashing the oil indicator light on the dash. Then it was discovered the oil was all leaking out onto the ground. The dipstick showed massive loss of oil even after topping up.
The vehicle was then taken to Ultratune where they did the following work and charged $500 to fix the problem:
Now my questions. I believe this is extremely rare for a Honda (or any modern car for that matter) with such low mileage and overall "young" age of the car to start leaking oil and throw a cam belt?? Can this happen? What could cause this? It just seems premature to me, that's all.
I might add that the vehicle was just serviced at the same Ultratune two weeks ago for the 50,000km service...
