Re: Quick Question

Replacing parts won't help if you can't find the leak-- find the leak first- then replace what is bad.....But there is a much worse scenario- you may be leaking internally in the engine- as in a head gasket or intake manifold- does your oil look like a milkshake? do you see any steam out of your exhaust? The best thing that can happen is that you can find an external leak-- look back every time you exit the car- do you ever see any puddles or drips?
