Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Engine oil leaks through the exaust pipe from the timing chain cover seal. the burning smell can be smelled almost immediately after purchase. i thought the smell will go away. at 4250 miles, i found oil spot on my drive way. dealer took out the from part of engine and re-sealed. after repair, i think the engine is still leaking, but the dealer told me that the oil/grease is from the rust proof. i like to get a second opion, but the next available dealer is million miles away. it is going to be a long and disturbing process for me down the road. so, i don't recommand suzuki to anyone, not even people i hate.
