Oil Leak on Magnum, possible cylinder crack????

[beejcctx]

Got my Magnum in April, PDI and then this was the "300" mile oil change.

Changed the oil and when I ran the engine, could see distinct trail of oil under the black cylinder.

This morning, I cleaned it all off again and felt around with bare hands (since engine was cold)...could feel a CRACK - indicated on picture.

Any ideas? I know I am still under warranty.... so ideas of what the heck is wrong would be greatly appreciated!

PS: this has been a daily driver, warmed up 1-2 minutes before each trip - approximately 25 miles a day.

THANKS!

Bummer.....Contact your dealer and email them that picture. They may hire a local shop to repair...

Good luck......Mike

Mike,

Called my dealer tonight - said that Ice Bear would need me to remove engine and they would send another....OY!

But do you agree on that picture? I mean, there shouldn't be a crack there, right? Nor should oil be leaking from where I indicated, right?

Anyway, I am looking for a local mechanic to verify my diagnosis...

THANKS!
