  1. a month ago i bought a 2002 pathfinder to replace my 95 that the frame had broke on. now i see this tread, call the dealership and the recall hasn't been performed on my truck. so we will see on the 26th if i get to keep my truck. sad part is my wife loves this truck and will be pissed if they take it. i know it has been in iowa its whole life, so i have to say im a little nervous.
  2. looks like its all over for my pathfinder, noticed a fuel leak the other day, pulled off the passenger side wheel and saw the frame was broke and the springs had smashed the fuel lines. too bad cause it still runs good and everything works fine. oh well its on craigslist right now to see if anyone wants it for parts.
  3. I never thought of this, but it does make sense. after all it does have 160k on it, we have owned since 120k, and the prev owner never said anything about changing it, when i go back to work i will ask him. good advice.
  4. LOL it was a bad seal on the caliper piston. the caliper was soaked w/brake fluid, what stumped me was the oily smell, but i think that was from over filling my upper ball joint w/grease. thanks for all the suggestions. these trucks are good ole trucks and im impressed at the reliability. this is the third nissan i have owned, 2 of the 3 were good vehicles i will remember how helpful this forum is
  5. it didnt look like it, but i will be pulling the wheel off today. was mostly contained to the bottom part of the tire where it contacts the pavement
  6. its a auto trans, there was a small pool on the lip of the rim that felt and smelled like brake fluid, but what was on the tire smelled like oil or grease, its strange looked dry around the master cylinder
  7. it is on the inside and looked liked it only dripped while it was sitting drivers side tire i will take a pic tomorrow thanks for the reply
  8. hello, new to the forum. my pathfinder usually just sits in driveway, its my wifes winter ride. today i noticed there was fluid on the tire. reached under to check out what it was, it smelled kinda oily. could the cv boot be leaking?? or maybe just really dirty break fluid?? noticed it was a little low. asked the wife if the pedal felt funny and you can imagine the reply i got. "it doesn't feel like my convertible" which has 20000 miles and 11 years newer. anybody ever seen this issue. i had it apart 2 years ago to replace ball joints and tie rods, but never leaked since then truck has 165000 miles on it and has been rarely taken off road any help is appreciated
