Can anyone share if there is a decent dealer around the Twin Cities for warranty work? I have a tiny antifreeze drip coming from what I think is the head gasket on the driver's side. My car is a 2014, but had the extended powertrain warranty so I'd think that should be covered, but need to know if there are decent options for a dealer to work on it.

I had a seatbelt recall performed recently at Walser Chrysler in Hopkins and was satisfied with the manner in which they cared for the car and me. I was informed they had a Viper certified tech do the work. |

There are two small bolts at the front of the head gasket that were loose on my car. The forward most bolt was difficult to get to--but possible with a 1/4 drive extension. I just re-torqued the two bolts and everything has been dry since.
I will get the torque specs for you at a later time.

95 in/lbs on those small bolts. You can see in the picture of the head gasket how close the water passage is to the edge of the head.

Thanks for the info - I checked on them tonight - both took very slight turns to get to 95, but not much - probably around 1/8th but not more than 1/4 of a turn. Not sure if that's actually enough to make any difference, but I'm going to keep an eye out.
It was literally 1 drop of fluid when I saw it and not enough to even hit the concrete in my garage at any point - but any amount of drip feels bad.
