Oil leak at 51000 miles

I purchase a new 2018 Subaru Outback 2.5l base in 2018 in Las Vegas, NV. In 2024 and at 51,000 miles, the same car Dealer where I purchased my Subaru from is telling me they’ve observed an oil leak from the engine’s Cam Carrier, and offered me over $5000.00 to fix it. When I surprisingly told the service advisor, this car has only 51000 miles on it, he responded, the Subaru’s engine run very hot.
Great car at a great price

Subaru outback is extremely practical, affordable and packed with great features. I bought a model with the 3.6 liter and drove across the country twice. First, gas mileage with the cruise control set on 75-80 is over 26mpg. Second, no problems. Flying across deserts with temps over 118° outside. Cruise control set on 75, xm set on channel 75, a/set on 75. Smooth sailing. Third. The lane keep and Subaru eye-sight is flawless as well as the following distance.

It is bigger than the 2009 or earlier models. Eye Sight takes a bit of getting used to but works great once you learn what to expect. Smart cruise control has caught me distracted a couple of times. Backup warning for oncoming traffic saved me once. Lane change warning usually confirms what I already knew but occasionally keeps me in lane. The AWD is, as usual, outstanding. It doesn't cut in as often as my BMW did because it doesn't need to!

I bought this car after reading a good review by a leading consumer magazine. While it is a good size (length and height) for me lugging around two kayaks or a bicycle, the performance and comfort just aren’t there. I’m in my mid sixties, 6 ft. In height and feel like I ride too low in this vehicle. Getting in and out of the driver’s seat is a pain. It is probably best suited for a grandmother with a few hobbies that require toteing her goods around. I wish there were affordable alternatives.
