Well I may have only 28k but I drive the piss out of my cars. (Think melted sidewall rubber and daily redlines). The boxer motor is a decent design but it's hard to fight gravity, vibration, and heat expansion when it comes to oil and where metal surfaces meet at a seam.

I wouldn't be surprised if every boxer motor leaks oil at the valve cover every 50k miles.

I'm not down on Subaru or the BRZ about an oil leak, but it sucks when the car's been in the shop for about 3 weeks in the 3 years I've had the car. No, 3 weeks isn't a show stopper but... if you were driving the beat-up Accord I've got now, you'd be hating life too. :P
