Engine replacement after 12500 miles

[Pariba]

Got gladiator sport s max tow back in October. 12500 miles and oil leak. Took to dealer and leaking around bolt and they have never seen before. Jeep says most likely casting/manufacturing issue so they are replacing engine. No one seems to know when engine will come in. Anybody heard this one yet?

At first they thought oil cooler but wasn’t. They found when took oil cooler off. Bolt behind oil cooler. Not exactly sure and I have no pics.

Sounds very similar to what I just experienced. Why was your final outcome?
