Transfer case and valve cover gaskets starting to leak at 38k on 2013 G37x
Hi All,
I have a G37x that I bought with 34k in July 17. Took to Infiniti dealer for service and vehicle inspection. They found that the transfer case and valve cover gaskets are starting to leak. This seems early for the gaskets to go; are these chronic problems for the model/yr?
My 2003 G35 went 198k with few problems and everything still worked !
Appreciate any thoughts
Kurt
P.S. Any experience with service at San Francisco Infiniti on Van Ness?

Thanks
I have had good experience at Peninsula but no longer commute down the peninsula, will post my experience with the service I receive.

Thanks for the good data on incidence. Thinking that the quality of the replacement is dependent on the skill of the tech E.g.,, preparation, reassembly attention and torquing.

And quality oil seals. I bought National seals, and the've held up great so far. Rockauto usually has them for a good price. Probably half of what a mechanic would charge you.

I have completed my service at Infiniti SF.; and as mentioned earlier in the thread here are my thoughts.
The service was excellent. During planned repairs for transfer case pinion seal, replacement of valve cover gaskets and replacement of the upper radiator hose, a bad O2 sensor was discovered and replaced. Car runs better than it did when ai brought it in.
Staff ( Kenneth and Fred ) communicated well, answering my detailed questions about the proposed service. The intent of the team was always to make the experience easiest for me, including holding my car for three days when I was out of town.

Glad to hear about a good experience. Even better that your G sounds like a happy monster now.
