Check engine light came on (now off by itself, but oil/temp light on), Subaru dealer says there’s an oil leak in the ‘cam’ area (?), they have to pull the engine to fix it, $1470. Do you think this is legit? I have no sign of oil leakage in driveway… What do you think - accept this? Might another dealer say something different?
