Your car looks familiar. Is this the one that was wrapped by Phenomenal? If so I can refer you to a place or two to get the work done in Long Island. Feel free to PM me.

Uggggh!!! MY07 also has the dreaded leak and I've been putting it off for almost 2 years now.

 

Ellipsis

Did you get the oil leak fixed and what was the actual cost?

 

Kdavos: you have a 2014 and still got the timing cover issue? I was led to believe this issue was solved with 4.7 engines :-/

I have a 2012 and seem to be having an oil leak in the same area (currently my serpentine belt is falling apart as well after a recent fix last week)

 

have you done it this way on a v12? Or just talking smack. Because the subframe holds the bottom swing arms with the steering stuff. .

 

My 2015 V8 GT was fixed under warranty a few years ago - they showed me the gasket was pinched when first put together - a botched job from who ever at Aston puts these engines together, possibly the same gent that seals our defective tail lights! Anyway, it would have been about $4500 if not under warranty, and I had a bad transaxle seal also fixed (total would be over $8K). I also saw a document on what Aston paid the dealership - less than 1/2 of what they would have charged me - so the dealers sorta get screwed on warranty work. I did not know that. Anyway, they pulled out the entire front lower frame and suspension to drop the engine - it was scary to see my car sprawling in parts over 3 bays, and it was a ton of work.

 

I just purchased a 2016GT which was diagnosed with the same problem during the extended warranty inspection. I do not have a $ amount as the work was done under warranty, but it shows 12.65 tech hours to fix. It describes front subframe and all ancillary components removed as well as valve cover baskets and timing cover. Parts used were PRV Kit FSA242 (1), Cartridge Assembly (1) and Clip-Firtree 5x6 (3.)

 

The V12 can pass the timing cover with subframe still in place..hehe and if your really good the valve covers can stay in place on pre VVT V12 for VH chassis!

No smack..just experience! 😎

 

I had a similar leak from the front and same dealer KDavos went to said around $4k for job. Granted when I drove it regularly, there was not enough of a leak for me to proceed. Once the car sat for weeks, it really started leaking!

 

Had this gasket replaced on my 2007 Vantage at the dealer. Cost was less that $3K. If I remember correctly.
For those interested in what was involved PM me and I will give you the link to the website.

 

Thank you for the reply, Timing cover yes, however, i kinda need to take the oil pan out, and it seems to be hugged by the subframe cradle.
where are you located? I am in long island hicksville area. PM me if you are local

 

I am in Florida. Sorry!

 

Don you have a leak or a seep? Mine was a seep, not a drop of oil on the floor which I could live with if it were out of warranty

 

I may have a similar issue. Crossing my fingers. Trying to find a reputable shop in NYC/Longisland
