2015 Outback 2.5 transmission seeping--how urgent a fix?
I just had my hand-me-down 2015 Outback inspected, and the mechanics saw that the front pump and valve cover on the transmission are seeping oil. They gave an estimate for valve cover and front pump cover reseal, and new cross over pipe o-rings, for ~$2200 (transmission has to come out).
My question is how urgent is this issue? Would prefer not to spend the $$$ right now but also want to make this car last. Any insight appreciated.
