The least reliable SUV? Is it true?

I am new here but this is my third CPO Porsche. To say the least I am unhappy to see all the oil leaks reported, some requiring engine removal to repair. Transfer case issues. Broken bolts causing oil leak. I have 13K miles and have not had the engine cover off the bottom yet.
Can some one tell me how the value cover gasket leaks show up? No much room to see the bottom side from the top.
Yes I am a little OCD with my car care. Like to do all my own maintaince. I then generally sell/trade the car after the CPO is up. I am 1 1/2 hr from the closest dealer. I do realize all cars have issues and no manufacturer has got it down to perfection. Also the bad gets magnified on the internet, at least this is what I m telling myself, LOL. Good site here, good people, great cars.
 
So why would you get a CPO, do all your own work and then trade it in after that warranty is over? What's the point of going CPO if not to use the warranty?

I do my own maintenance because it s easy, cheap and I ve always worked on cars(Cpo doesn't t pay for maintenance ). I would use the CPO for warranty work repairs which is generally expensive and a little more complex.
