Leaking from everywhere Well the car had a major engine and tranny leak before the tranny went out. I replaced it with a built tranny and had my mechanic change the gasket in between the tranny and motor which fixed my motor oil and tranny problem. Went to go change my oil today and the guy told me I had leaks from the powersteering, rack and pinion, and from the motor again. I went under the car and it does look like it's leaking from somewhere but just don't know from where. I highly doubt it's coming from the same leak I fixed before. The oil filter had oil on it when I looked under the car and I'm thinking this guy is right being that the bottom of my car has little but fresh oil. I'm trying to find out what this would run me if it were to be leaking from the rack and pinion as well as the powersteering???

I'll wipe down the car and try to check out if I can spot anything. It's just that the leak is small and doesn't really leave noticeable stains in the driveway. Maybe a hose somewhere

So I got under the car yesterday to change my oil and didn't see any hoses leaking. Seems like the leaking is coming from the oil pan and dripping all over the front suspension. Probably has to have the gasket changed or something? Looks like a pain to replace and pricey. Anyone have an idea of how much this will run me?

If your pan gasket is leaking, check the pan bolts first and make sure they are at proper torque. If they have loosened up a tad that can make it leak. Can't hurt to check, and if it doesn't fix it, well, you're not out anything.
