This past weekend after taking a day trip to va I discovered a leak under the front hood. It smelled and looked like oil. The previous monday I had my oil changed at the local chrysler dealer and thought that maybe something may be wrong with the filter. On monday the 31st of mar I talked to the service mgr and he told me to bring it in. He looked under the hood and under the engine and found that it was a power steering leak not an oil leak. He stated that this is a common problem with the 300m. I stated that this seems to be mfg'ing problem. He stated it didn't happen to all of them so that is why it was not a recall or service bulletin. I disagree with his statement. I had extended warranty to they fixed it and it cost me $100.00 deductible. I feel this is not something I should have paid for. According to this dealer this is a problem with the 300m and it should be identified as a recall or at least a service bulletin.
