Guys,

 

My Pathy has suffered a severe hemorage, this morning, 8am on the way to work. Awesome. Pulled up to a light and smoke was coming from under the truck... smelled like oil.

 

Pull over, look under, and red AT blood leaking all over my front passenger half shaft, oil pan, bell housing, and onto the y-pipe.

 

I had to call the tow company, blah blah, the truck almost falls off of the tow truck (I could only be so lucky) and am waiting to hear from my mechanic.

 

Blown seal? Anyone?

 

Oh, list of problems (updated):

centerlink toasted

AT trans on the fritz

front alignment

lots of creaks

oil leaks from everywhere

many electrical problems...

 

 

why didnt I get a Honda -thnkboutit-

Sounds like you lost a cooler line. Sorry about the luck.

[BLouisGod]

Thats what I thought but it was ok on the new cooler - maybe where the line starts at the casing? Damn, thatd be nice if it was...

My lines had gotten cut/worn where they go thru the radiator frame.

Installed a new cooler and bypassed all that. The leak was around the bellhousing/ oil pan.
