Driving to work Friday morning everything is running great. I get to work, start to back into a parking spot and all the sudden, a a loud low pitch whine and lots of smoke. I say to myself, self WTF?
I let the car sit for a while. Went out to look at what's going on and I see oil on the drivers side rear. I assume a sparkplug tube let go. I go back the next day, change out the 3 tubes on the drivers side, clean up the oil, start it up and took it for a spin around the parking lot. As I turn the steering wheel, lots of ugly sounds coming from somewhere. I parked the car, checked the transmission fluid level and the dipstick is
dry. I searched the forum and from what I've read, the O-ring between the pump and reservoir might have given up. Am I on the right path?
If this is correct, I haven't found a video or a tutorial on how to get there. Would someone point me in the right direction? If I am going down the road, where should I look for this leak. Please help.
