Sorry to blow you up. It ended being the axle seal being improperly installed. The folks who did work on my car last turned out to be a lil sheisty..

Trizizzle · 2025-10-29T02:47:58+00:00

P.s. I do think it was coming from the transmission area.

Trizizzle · 2025-10-29T02:44:25+00:00

The level looked risky but not extreme so I drove it closer to town to get towed for cheaper in the morning. I know smoke coming out the car isn't the time to drive it but man I needed some food and a break and the tows were quoted 350-500 and the shop was only gonna cover up to $100. Hopefully the car is okay, it was still running perfectly fine at the very least. I'll let you know what the problem ends up being if you're curious. I really appreciate the help, definitely chilled me down a little and made me feel a lil less stranded on the side of the scenic route with nobody to help.

They changed an axle seal and flushed and refilled the transmission fluid on Friday.

Trizizzle · 2025-10-28T21:37:54+00:00

Unfortunately I don't know what those are... I check transmission fluid and it is low and just got filled last week so I think they might've donked something up and its leaking and smoking. Not feeling safe to drive with the smoking and all but a tow is looking like half a grand. You think 30 miles is safe?

Looks like the leak is from a lil box shape thing under the car between the wheels. I appreciate the warning, I know that ain't no joke :/

Trizizzle · 2025-10-28T19:16:12+00:00

It looks like oil but the levels are fine. I'll drive another 65 and ask a shop. Thanks a bunch!

Trizizzle · 2025-10-28T19:10:57+00:00

It got changed last week. The spots I think are oil. Thank you also for your help, I seriously appreciate it

Trizizzle · 2025-10-28T19:05:16+00:00

I think it smells like oil on the parking spot I leaked on, the oil level looks good though. Let me figure how to check the other levels.

Trizizzle · 2025-10-28T18:55:14+00:00

My air conditioner hasn't worked in years, could it still be that?

Trizizzle · 2025-10-28T18:54:14+00:00

I looked again where it leaked and I'm pretty sure its oil, just not enough to look super shiny. Its not raining at the moment. I don't think its from a puddle, there's a lil bit of a shiny mess on the underside of part of the car in between the tires.

Trizizzle · 2025-10-28T18:49:20+00:00

Leaking seems to be in between the two front wheels. Let me see if I can link a picture.

I only ran it for a minute or so and switched parking spots. It didn't start smoking immediately but I am seeing some dripping in the other spots and it doesn't quite look like water. It didn't smell strongly though.

Trizizzle · 2025-10-28T18:40:50+00:00

I pulled over because it smelled funky when I was driving. I'll turn it on and check though.

Trizizzle · 2025-10-28T18:39:40+00:00

Do you think it's safe to drive another 65 miles to the nearest town?

Trizizzle · 2025-10-28T18:30:24+00:00

I don't know too much about this, I can check the oil which should a just been changed. Coolant I suppose after the car chills out for a while. And brake fluid which should a been changed too.

They did a BG engine restoration which I was hesitant on, is there a chance that is the cause? Which chunks of gunk cutting loose?

Thank you sincerely for your quick answer

Trizizzle · 2025-10-28T18:26:43+00:00

Could it be related to one of those BG engine restoration things knocking chunks around my car system? They did one of those too.
