This is what’s leaked out of the truck since January. Some oil (less than anticipated) but is the red ATF? That’s not good....

Also, ran and washed the truck today!!!

Did you put the big red car there so nobody would hit those tiny cones?

You just reminded me that I don't have one vehicle that isn't leaking something.

Our HOA doesn't allow parking in the lanes, doing that seems to appease them

This just reminds me to count my blessings, for the first time in my driving career, no vehicles are leaking and luckily it’ s been that way f or the past 3 years.

And, let me  tell you, I’ve had all the leaks, name it and it’s leaked.

The oil kinda looks like an Air Jordan pose! And that's not a lot of tranny fluid. Though you might have some seals that need replacing.

Some auto parts stores sell ATF that has stop leak in it already, or you can buy trans stop leak by itself.

Trannies shouldn’t leak unless it’s coming from the pan gasket. I blew a tranny coolant line one day and it was not a good day.

I just see an angry person running to stab somebody. Is that right?

Since you have to do the cones anyway, I think a little sign would be appropriate to o, something like “Svending in progress”

I saw a while ago your Oppo conversation about turning in your plates when you cancel insurance. Question for ya...Maybe you know... If I don’t cancel it but it runs out, will I be asked to turn them over? If so, how long before I’m asked?

If it lapses (runs out) you can keep them!

Driving an old car is an “essential” task, as things can go wrong if a car sits idle too long. I did the same on Saturday:

I sometimes get a dime-sized drip too, pretty sure it’s oil, I deal with it, just put cardboard under the car when in my garage or the storage area.

I bought a drainpan with a big catch area for underneath. So I can measure how much comes out

For old cars, if it drips, it works . It’s a common approach for the WW2 tanks over at the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum here in town.

Paul Allen did some good stuff when he was still around.

Looking at the shape, maybe a seal? You can make out a corner

In the oil I see a running figure chasing a small truck, while being chased by his dog. Given the evidence provided, I would say check your brake fluids, and chock a wheel at the dog park!

Lol, I totally see that too now
