The input seal on my X2 started leaking a few months ago with about 600 miles on it.Dealer fixed it under warranty and have since put another 600 miles on it with no trouble.I hope yours is still under warranty because that seal is about a $100.There is also an updated seal to replace the ones that first came out on the ADC equipped models.

If you trust the mechanics at the dealership then let them do it. Otherwise you can look at the write up in the below thread and do it yourself. Personally I will never take anything; car, motorcycyle, ATV, snowmobile, to a dealer if I can do the job myself.
