......I'm thinking its the rear main seal......Any 24 year old car is going to have issues.Got an appointment with a car Dr.10:30 tomorrow,to get her checked out.....I'm hopin I don't need too big of a crying towelwhen I get her diagnosis,but oh well..........I seen this written once,when a person undertakes ANY investment,of ANY kind:"Ya puts down yer money,and takes yer chances".....

We just had a problem with our 5year old citroen c2......the wife took it to the shops and when she got back in it the power steering had failed.These modern cars now have a hybrid electric/hydraulic system that is linked to the ecu.I had looked on the net for the cost of repairs and nearly passed out with shock.Anyway,further information on the internet led me to remove the positive battery terminal from the battery and then replace it.This seems to have cured the problem by resetting certain conditions within the electronics.....it has also stopped a warning light that was giving a periodic audible signal even though there was no fault with the related equipment.It fills me full of confidence to travel on an airliner which is full of electronics like this lol.

Bummer! My 12yr old truck just blew a head gasket 2 days ago...a really major repair, something that cannot be done outside in the weather thats coming.
Oh well, another adventure, sometimes I think these things happen for a really important reason, usually its because somebody needs to be encouraged or uplifted in some way and God has chosen you to do it, and the only way it would ever happen is for this event to precipitate the meeting. Or its just a mechanical thing Regardless, we will both have to be talking to people, and one way that adds some solace to a hefty repair bill is to figure God is involved!
