Was checking a massive trans oil leak by resevoir and noticed alot of black grease splatter on the rear passenger inner wheel ,it was definetly fresh grease would this be a boot or something.

Yes CV Boot or Wheel Bearing seal, u need 2 take the wheel off and jack it up and look. Don't let it go 2 long else it could get expensive!

Im at the stage now, like so many others, that the car will just sit now,because of the frustration,this is what happens with these cars,it will sit there then in like 3 years ill sell it,and that person will get frustrated then it will end up as a parts car,its an ongoing cycle.

Why not stick your head down there and LOOK ! This is like asking if you have hemroids just LOOK !

Along with the trans puddle its just crazy mabe i gota go count to ten.

Nope its ok guys I know what the problem is.

What you are seeing happens MOMENTS before the car is about ready to catch fire.

I recommend that you immediately sell the car VERY cheap, because you now know this you cannot sell if for full value. Once you sell it move on and NEVER buy another one!

James Bailey

Actually it is CRAZY to think that a 20 year old car is not going to have problems need work just like people , cars wear out ....rubber falls apart, the plastic cracks, leather gets hard , it is just life. Sell the car now and move on little point in parking it and watching it disintegrate.

James Bailey

Good point Colin but with full coverage insurance sometimes it is better when they burn

I know its 20 years old,but what do i have to do change every part until its actually brand new again,i allready changed 50% in new parts.

James Bailey

Yea right ..... dream on. You have only scratched the surface for potential replacement.

After looking at dwaynes cv write up,this is something i cant do,i dont want to get that grease all over my hands im getting a manacure today ahahhahhahhahhaha what parts on the trans reservoire leaks like this?

Mrmerlin

the trans could have an over tightened pan gasket and after a while it cracks and lets the fluid leak out.
The tank cap could also be loose.
The front pump seal/TC seal could be leaking ( verified by seeing fluid dripping out of the grate on the bottom of the TC housing)
The hoses that go to the trans could also be leaking, if these are leaking then the ones that go over the cats should also be replaced

Lizard928

if you think you have replaced 50% of the parts, you really have no idea.

Just wait till you have to try to track down a wiring glitch!!!!!

And yes JB sometimes it is better to let it burn............







with the owner trapped inside the unable to break his way out cause he spent his money on a pedicure instead of an ipod and didnt want to chip a nail!!!!!!

I bet even Sterling is not close to the 50% mark.

I think he needs to go look at new cars, and while he is at the dealership, maybe go look and see how many new cars are in the shop.
