The gaskets on these cars do good to last 100K miles. Mine wasn't leaking, but I was installing MILVS so it gave me a reason to go ahead and do it.

My car had 70,XXX miles on it when I did it. It's not a very hard replacement, just time consuming.
I'm sitting at 62k rn. I had the car parked in my garage since I was buffing the paint and what not and when it started it up all I could smell was burning oil. I'm gonna clean where I see the oil early tommorow morning and do as you say. Let's hope so haha. But what's the difficulty in it being a diy?
