You would think by now that they would take a step back and actually look for where the engine is leaking instead of doing the shotgun approch and just throw parts at the car.
With the repairs so far, they been in the back, front, upper and lower part of engine trying to fix the problem.
What they should do is to carfeully steam clean the engine and insert leak dye in the engine oil and let you drive the car for a week.
After that they use a "black light" to go over the entire engine to look for leaks and the leakdye will show as a flourescent sheen wherever the oil have leaked out.
If the leak is on right side of engine it might be the timing cover.
