Thanks for the replies. Yes, you are right in assuming that your energy would be wasted, I am not a qualified technician. From my understanding the mechanic I use is quite reputable, perhaps I did not represent the shop properly, I do not want to discredit anyone. They have done good work in the past, and have very strong reviews. They are also a certified LN IMSB installer. The filter was opened and it was photographed. The car was kept and test driven to recreate the problem and they were able to do so, they mentioned bank 2 as well, but we unable to really provide anything solid without the tear down. The valve seat came up as a likely outcome as they have experienced something similar in the past. The mechanic knows full well tear down is not an option on this car, so I do not see this as an up-sell.

I do appreciate the info, if anyone else has something to add I am grateful.
