It was time to take the Saturn in to have the oil
changed, or at least so I thought. After
making the appointment I went back to look and I had it done in November, so I
still had a month to go. Apparently with
Sarah being home for semester break though, we had hit the mileage threshold,
or were about to. So while they were in
doing the oil, I asked them to look things over, because I was seeing spots on
the driveway under Sarah’s car. I wasn’t
sure what kind of fluid it was, all I could tell is that it was fluid. My first thought was coolant, but the coolant
level looked to be OK, so I thought I would just let the mechanic tell me what
was wrong.
It turns out that there isn’t a leak at all, there
are MANY leaks. He told me that there
were small leaks coming from the steering fluid, brake fluid, cooling lines, a
little oil… pretty much everything had a
little leak and it was all mixing together to make one big leak. He wasn’t even sure where to begin with
fixing it. His advice was to just drive
it, and check on a weekly basis to make sure the fluid levels were all still
OK. That would be the cheapest thing to
do rather than having to spend a lot of money to fix everything.
So we go on…
Though having to deal with oil spots all over the driveway is going to
make me insane.
