Default Leak??

I was wondering, how many of us have a leak somewhere? I have a slight trans pan leak, and a small front crank seal leak. They are not too bad, just keep an eye on it. how many of us do this, and how long has it been that way?

Slight rear main leak, i get a little blowback out of the dipstick, andwhere the right head and block (where the gasket is seated) gets a little wet with oil every now and then, but its knothing more than a wet dab.. Other than that, mines good.. Until I pull the motor to replace the bearings that is...

Loosing 3 drops of coolant from the inlet manfold gasket not sealing quite right.
Minor oil leak at the fuel pump gasket
minor oil leak at the rear main
minor oil leak at the gearbox rear seal

Maybe $1 worth of fluids leaking per year and requiring more time than i have spare to fix them, so they will all be leaking for some time to come

Evil, I struggle to imagine your car would ever suffer embarrassing loss of body fluids.

Hello.My cars don't leak anything. It took a little while to get them like that, but we now have an understanding. If you are going to sit in the garage, you are forbidden to leak.

Every time I think I kill the tranny leak in my fastback, drip. I go under there, tighten everything, a few months go by and I think I solved it again, drip. Just one drip. One spiteful drip. Although annoying, I'd expect it from my fastback. She's the most cantankerous of my cars...and the only one that leaks!

I have a bit of a tranny leak (C4). I notice that it weeps when I really get on it and manually shift it. So it's been like that for a while and I ussually don't beat on the car that often.
