This is a strange story.

The 97 960 was in for a routine rear main seal replacemnt with the usual symptoms. Oil leaks, esp. after a lon run, onto the exhaust.
Well, the garage replaced the main seal (also replaced the transmission seal)and everything seemed fine.
Within hours of normal driving, the car appeared to run rough, misfiring. We brought it back to the garage, where a blocked, open fuel injector was diagnosed. Not only that, the cylinder had filled from gas from the injector, and hydraulic pressure had damaged the cylinder, piston and rod.
I am going to the garage this afternoon to hear the financial damage.

My questions are these, just how frequent is this type of injector failure? In any way could the seal replacement be related. Is the garage liable?

Thank you,

Dan
