Ouch, that sounds expensive.
I just got my 2000 Box S back from a trip to the dealer yesterday. I noticed less than a tablespoon of oil on the garage floor slightly to the right of center just in front of the rear axle after having it about two weeks.
The technician said it was a plug (similar to a freeze plug) that was leaking, and it was minor enough to not worry about it. Told me to keep an eye on it, and if it worsens we'd attack it. Would involve dropping the crossbrace, drilling out the old one, and reinstalling. 3+ hours of labor.
If that didn't work, it would be a major $$ job. Talked about pulling cylinder head, etc. Sounds like I may be glad I bought the extended warranty.
Good luck with yours. Let us know how it goes.
