Oil leak.

Hope they listen to my prayer for your car. Love the little finger made sign on your car and the flip flop feet shining through.

Oh, I’m so sorry. Nothing worse than when the trusty wheels start going south on you. I actually cried when I had to trade in Dooley. Hope you can find the cause and repair it!

I hope you can get it fixed soon.

We used to laugh about Vin's old car. We'd say he'd take it to the service station and ask them to fill it up - with oil. Hope the repairs are minor.

I hope its nothing serious. Keep it well fed.

Hello, I am a mechanic first and a computer-pro second... I would suggest taking some pictures and / or video of the leak start where it is hitting the ground and look up... lol... we need plenty of light of course. I am really good at following oil leaks to their source. I would not tighten any bolts as you might do more harm and cause a new leak. I have a co-worker with and Xtera so if I need to I can look at his to compare and I believe we could narrow this down. follow the areas that are washed clean. motor oil has detergents that will wash off any grease leaving a clear bright trail that leads back to the source. Sometimes oil will follow a line or hose from one area to a completely different area. Transmission cooler lines can accommodate that trick as an example. shoot a couple of pics of the damage too and I can tell if it's related... I am totally new and this is my first post, I signed up because I read your story and would hate to see you ruin an engine or worse have a fire or what have you... We could even do a live video thing if need be.... Marc side story... I fixed a jeep one time where someone had hooked up the PCV hose to the wrong port essentially disabling it and the oil seemed to be coming from everywhere, a huge mess underneath but up top seemed dry??? reconnecting the hose to the correct vacuum port totally fixed her issue.

Way back when, our van had an oil leak, so he just started using a heavier grade of oil...

Hope it gets fixed! Cars and trucks are such a hassle at times!

I also had a problem with oil leak, it turned out oil was leaking into the water system (water had a leak too) I bought a new engine and other parts for a 8400 ILS. Ummm...that was one of my highest salaries that went straight to the car. I suggest you better check the water system too. If you see the water is dirty inside the water tank, with something green or black or brown, it can be oil.

Good luck there on the outcome.

Hoping that it can be fixed soon

Hope it doesn't turn to be too costly.

Hope that oil leak isn't something costly.

@TheHorse Clever idea the jug of oil I hope it all gets sorted out.

Sent...but I would have thought that is the first thing they check ...lest some fire starts...that and oil, and breaks and clutch...did you not show it to some mechanic immediately?

May be it's not a big deal, good luck.

I hope its not a big repair. It could be from the accident. My daughter slid into a guardrail on ice one time and thought the same thing. A couple of years later her tranny started leaking. The mechanic said it had slightly bent the metal line and that caused it to break over time.

't least yer keepin' a close watch, eh? would seem odd such'd be related to yer fender bender? then 'gain, who knows these days. best 'f luck gettin' 'er fixed.

sorry for this. hope it will be fixed the soonest possible.

I hope it is nothing major going on.
