Ok so I got home today for lunch and parked in my normal spot. I got out and went in for lunch. When I came back out again i saw there was oil all over the ground where my X had been! and because it was raining it looked so bad.
So i got really wet trying to look under the truck for a possible problem.
I went inside to dry off and saw a card from our pool dude to say he had come to service the pool... so i put 2 and 2 together and called them and asked if the van they were using had a leak. They said they would look into it and get back to me....... sure enough in 1/2 an hour they called back and said the van that they were using had a bad oil leak.!!!!!!! i was in major panic mode thinking it was the X. And i really dont need that kind of problem now as i am just about to go to college.

anyways just thought i would tell you that :-)

That was smart of you to think the pool peoples van was leaking, I would have seen the oil underneath my Explorer and said " Not again !! " And the Explorer would have sat there for a week.
 






yup your just like me
 






How did you respond so fast ? That was only like 30 seconds !!
 






my X always leaks ATF =(

one day i fear its gunna turn into a major dump and leave me stranded=(

OH well

hehe

PEACE

P.S. Shane get in the chat
 






I would have the pool people clean up the oil spill if it is a bad one.....
 






they did come back and clean it up...... and i could respond so fast... cause i am a fast kind of guy!
 






I remember when my '97 was brand new, when I saw oil underneath or smell coolant overheating, I laugh knowing it isn't my truck. Now its almost 7 years old, I get very nervous when I smell or see something that isn't right. :(
