Hi,
I normally use my friends garage to do my oil changes but he's been booked with tire change overs. So I used one of those quickie lube places. First they fought with me over the weight oil to use...but it hasnt ended there. This morning I noticed a puddle of oil. Its also all over the A arms...CV boot and even got into the rim of the right front tire. It looks like its pouring off the filter. I bring it back and they say the filters had a bad gasket. Two of them????
I just took if for a ride and its still leaking. My big worry is if they somehow messed the filter seat up! Can that be repaired if its somehow ruined???
As soon as my wife returns with her car I'm going to go to the auto parts store to see what size filter is supposed to be on the car...just to be sure they got the right one on there.
Car has been a great car for us and has gotten great care until now.
