All my car's problems should be solved!!

Well after a few weeks of going nuts with my car all problems should be fixed!!!
I got a call from my service advisor today to update me (Braman is THE BEST):

The oil leak I had was cause by THREE different seals on the top of the engine!! The oil was pooling up on top of the engine and as soon as I would move it would fly off (causing a lot of oil on my garage floor). They replaced these 3 rings so that should be good to go!!

The tire noise and suspension problems I have been speaking of have also been diagnosed!! Both front wheel bearings and carriers were in HORRIBLE condition. They are not sure what would have caused this, but said the drivers side was really bad which was why I was hearing a lot of noise.

Hopefully this solved the problem, as I have been without my car for almost 2 weeks and I miss it . I will know when I pick it up tomorrow afternoon!!
Evan
PS-It was pretty funny when I walked around to check on my car at one point (before seeing my advisor) and I saw the engine outside the car next to it... I said out loud "That can't be a good thing"

I thought the hidden top -of- engine oil pooling/leaks were only on the '01 Turbos and fixed in production . Probably one of those " fixes " like the RMS one on the 996 .

Couldn't big wheels with aggressive offset wear the bearings prematurely ?

Were you getting any high speed vibrations and did you notice the insides of the fronts, especially the driver's side worn?

I had vibrations that started at 30MPH and got worse as speed increased... Pedals, steering wheel, even my butt was vibrating!!!!
