I'd be wary of buying a 2008 or earlier without warranty or CPO because of this issue unless you know it had been taken care of.
I guess I'm going to start taking more short trips. I certainly have gone on short trips on the weekend like yourself, but have never noticed anything at all. Three months of warrantee left, it will happen in four months no doubt.
