They said to replace the timing cover instead. I then said the main leakage is from the gallery gasket and they said they would not do it cause of the caution message...

we had an 09 G37S coupe with 125k miles without any issues. Engine has been trouble free.... No steering lock issue also.

Better pull that steering lock fuse before ya posting the emergency here and what to do about it when you're stranded. :shakes head:

I think it's easier and simpler to just install an oil pressure gauge, so that you can always monitor status and if everything's ok, no need to change gaskets.

That's what I did, 100k miles, 20psi pressure at idle. No reason to feed it money yet. For the cost of a shop to do it I'll probably just get a used 2014 up engine anyway.
