	It was no major leak but enough oil was seeping through to stink up the driving experience. Basically, after about 20 minutes of driving one could register in the nostrils the scent of burnt oil. Especially at intersections.

The gasket was already toast, hence why you needed to jet wash that part of the engine!

If I had gone to the dealer, the motor would have been properly washed with refrainment from hitting a known Subaru sore spot. But the grease monkey at the tire chain, who probably dropped out of mechanic school, had no idea about it. Lesson learned. Do not take a fine set of wheels to a tire outfit for anything!

Yes, but you're a very special snowflake. I just can't be arsed.
