JEFF69dini , the technician said that the " BALL BEARING " you described is the source of our leak for the '08 sedan and that it's associated with the head gasket . Dye was used in the engine to locate the source . There's a ledge ( part of engine block ) above the " BALL BEARING " that is inverted that catches the leaking oil and mixes with the road dust , etc. . Then below the ledge it forms into a smaller square bottom where the oil drop forms ( this is looking up to the upper right ( passenger side ) hand corner of the backside of the engine block from beneath the car ) . Using a flashlight is very useful to spot the oil . Did you ever find out anything of your dilemma ? THANKS
