Make note of this fact. If you have to keep adding any of the fluids in your vehicle or there are spots on your driveway, there is a problem. Where is the fluid going? Chances are there is a leak somewhere. Some leaks only leak while the vehicle is moving, so don't assume you don't have a leak because you don't have spots on your driveway.

Guess what? Leaks don't repair themselves -- they only get worse! The monster just wants you to keep feeding it. He doesn't care if you end up broken down or spending money you didn't have to spend. Keep feeding him transmission fluid, power steering fluid, engine oil or antifreeze and he's happy, but the problem is growing and waiting for a bad time to rear its ugly head. Slay the monster before he causes undo trouble for your vehicle.
