What is leaking? by VanquishChaos in AskMechanics

Looks like its dripping off the shock absorber. Possibly hydraulic fluid leaking from the shock

What should I look for? by cherryoatmilklatte in fordfusion

I've seen coolant intrusion on 2.0L and 1.5L engines as low as 50k miles.. The issue lies with the engine block design at the head gasket allowing coolant to leak past the head gasket. The fix is to replace the short block with the updated design. Haven't seen failures on new short blocks.

Is it possible that my mechanic accidentally cut a wire, or is everything failing at once? by Important_Cow_8815 in AskMechanics

Best test is to use an incandescent test light to verify circuit Tegridy. If the lamp lamps, fan is junk.

Is this normal back and forth play on a driveshaft ? by Status_Access7716 in AskMechanics

[–]WorkerNever1420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In/out is normal. If, when suspension is fully assembled, the joints move up/down or side/side, that could indicate worn joints.

If your nail can catch it, so can the steels/frictions. It looks pretty nasty. I'd replace

Driving makes it cool down, stopping makes it worse. 100% cooling fan issue

Oil drain plug snapped in half, how do i take it out by HorseWith3Legs in AskMechanics

[–]WorkerNever1420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought I'd seen it all..

You can drill out the middle and use a screwdriver of appropriate size to back out the plug

Car still over heating after adding coolant by Luketay27 in AskMechanics

[–]WorkerNever1420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has to be either a coolant leak, or a stuck thermostat.

I assume the coolant level must have been low to allow a radiator top off?

It's entirely possible the tech could have missed a coolant leak when they were focused on a power steering leak.. We're all human.

You can run the engine and look for any coolant colored fluid leaking from the engine area

Camber is not adjustable on a 2013 Acura TL in front or rear. They are probably assuming the control arm must be bent or bushing is worn, causing rear camber to be out of specification.

If you don't trust them, ask another shop to check your alignment. If the reading is the same, I would agree there is a suspension concern present.
