After 12,000 very gentle and uneventful miles, my 2005 PT Cruiser (Limited Ed., 2.4 turbo) dumped all its oil, most of it on my garage floor. To that point, it had been a dream car, never leaked a drop of anything. Towed it to the dealer, and it turned out to be a blown crank seal, due to excessive crankshaft endplay. Dealer did a full shortblock replacement under warranty. Just wondering if anybody's heard of this problem with Cruisers.
