Puddles on the Driveway

[CanadianSniper]

Well after making quite a mess everywhere, ( Oil Leaks ) I decided to investigate. Found I was leaking tranny fluid from a line that ran I presume ran from the transmission to the cooler along the frame on the drivers side and at a bend right below the rad. Well there was no way I have to time, nor tools, equip, to tackle this so I took it to a tranny joint. They couldn't do it right away but said they would call! That never happened. So I took it to a corner garage where the guy had a hoist and the right stuff. He said leave the car for a couple of hours and come back. I returned and he had it all fixed. I presume for him to repair it, cut out the rotten steel and apply a hose that he had to take out the battery for access. Anyway for a $100.00 it's all fixed. Man is everything jammed into this engine compartment.

Sounds like a pretty good deal for $100, especially in Canada.

As I get older, some things just aren't worth messing with on my own!!

Hourly rates here can be very high, so I agree, a great price.

Totally agree with your second point too.
