How Much Does Your Car Leak?

absolutely none. 22year drivetrain, a couple of gaskets, and let the magic of all aluminum do what it does. A leaker isn’t all that bad, it takes “tough” seams to have a leak generate, if to be optimistic.Today has tougher seals for just about everything that used to.

Eh. Power steering fluid.

My Mustang leaks transmission fluid, because the last place that worked on the transmission messed it up. There’s a nice big black puddle in the street (it’s been leaking for months, so the stuff on the street’s not red anymore), and now I have an old cake pan under it.

It’s getting looked at right now, so hopefully in a few days I’ll have a leak-free car.

I’m a “foreign car of vaguely recent vintage” guy – other than my old camry, I’ve never had a car that leaked, except maybe directly after the times that I do oil changes on it…

Unfortunately I have a car that is leaking more then I want and its like a 500-1500 fix.

Oh man, I leak more transmission fluid than you do oil. I have a bad leak somewhere. I also leak oil, coolant, and power steering. My 4.3 has survived to almost 200,000 miles…but it aint pretty!

much less than I do.

I can’t stand leaks and when you have a little guy running through the garage when the car isn’t there you really can’t get away with it.

So no leaks here

Even with a brand new rebuilt engine I have a rear main leak and with a rebuilt trans I have a tail shaft leak. The original tolerances are way to large to keep these older cars leak free for more than a week.

My leaks arent severe, but they’re there.

drain plug gasket leaked so i replaced it when i changed my oil last week.

new power steering pump has leaked since i bought it

I’ve got several small leaks under the Jeep, just a bunch of old leaky seals that need replaced, eventually.

The ranger leaked a little, everytime i parked a spot would be there the next day. The driveway looked a mess haha. When we get it back from the paint guy and put it all together we’re gonnna change the oil and try runnin slick 50 to see if it helps any.
