I have Subaru Impreza 2013 2.0 L, CVT with 65k miles on it. I took my subi to a local autoshop to change the oil and rotate the tires, and the technician called me saying that there is some king of liquid at the bottom of the car. Please see pics attached. I took one drip on my finger: the liquid doesn't have any specific color or smell, yellowish oily substance. The guy told me to take the car to a Subaru dealership, so I did. At the Subaru they lifted the car and 'tested' it. In the report it saying that CVT fluid is leaking from between engine and CVT, and rear seal on the transmission need to be replaced and the cup must be resealed. In order to do it, they need to take CVT unit out of the car, do the job and put it back. The price for the work is $1200. I have a gut feeling that they are trying to rip me off, because I called two other Subaru dealerships and they told me that they never heard of rear seal leak on a CVT transmission before. Charging $1200 to replace $50 part is ridiculous, I'm so not happy with the situation. Please help, what do you think could it be, does it look like what they are saying? Thank you. Mike.
