Decent car but would not recommend

Bought my Acura in 2020 and drove it for 3 years with little to no issues. Took it for an oil change recently and two separate leaks were discovered. Not happy about having to pay over $1500 for this, when my car is really only at 55,000 miles. Was planning on buying an RDX as my next car, but after having issues fairly early on, will not be purchasing another Acura sadly.
