weeping oil around the engine

It's 2022 RDX a-spec with only 10K miles. This car had serious oil dilution issue as well. see https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-rdx-...ution-1008465/
Any one had similar issue before?

I had the same on my 2019. I got it covered from dealer on extended warranty. (yes, i got one of those, good ROI so far for me).

the issue was the valve gasket. Seems they were not surprised. I did not haggle or discuss price due to it being ext warranty covered.

valve cover gaskets I heard about, not too many of them I think. There was also mention of a crack in a cylinder block, which is more serious

I dont think valve cover should be very expensive, $600 dealer and maybe $300 at indy shop?
