This is the case 99 times out of 100. If you bring your vehicle to the dealer for regular maintenance they can pick up on stuff like this when you are in. As well this case will more than likely not go very far. Most of these problems were covered under warrenty or as previously stated, "Good will", or "50/50". Many of these people that had to pay had more than 100,000kms on the odometer and had not done regular maintenance, though that is not always the case.
We had a gentleman call our dealership on Friday claiming he will sue us because his gasket is leaking for the firsttime at 200,000 kms. He did not buy it from us, nor has he ever had it in our shop, though he believes we should fix it for free none the less.
