Thanks, Peter.
Is it visible at all? I ask because we cleaned the area around the bottom edge
of the top cover, and it appears to remain clean while the leak persists.
The worst area for oil accumulation is the bottom of the air pump if that means
anything.

Leasing is tricky at best and is rarely a win unless you can have some control
over what they establish as the residual. If you want a car payment and a new
car every 2-3 years, it could make sense.

can look at past history to get an idea of what the depreciation will be
like and they will usually allow either 12000 or 15K mi/yr - if you can
