This transmission hose developed a small leak that caused the transmission to lose all of its fluid. It appears that the hose clamp was previously removed, and that may have caused the puncture, you can actually see the outline where the clamp used to sit. What’s interesting is that this vehicle has no record of being serviced at any dealership or shop, so it’s unclear why the clamp was ever removed in the first place.

This is a 2022 Toyota Tacoma, and I’ve been seeing this issue pretty often. Many mistake it for an extension housing seal leak, but here’s the trick. Clean all the oil off, take it for a short drive, and check again. If the oil is dripping from the U-joint, not the housing, you’re most likely dealing with a leaking plug inside the driveshaft. Unfortunately, Toyota doesn’t sell the plug separately, only the entire driveshaft assembly. If you know of a company that repairs or sells just that plug, drop it in the comments šŸ‘‡

When Should You Get a Tire Alignment? šŸ”§šŸš™

Most people wait until their tires are worn out before thinking about an alignment but by then, it’s already cost you money!

Here’s when you should get one:

šŸ‘‰ After hitting a pothole or curb
šŸ‘‰ If your car pulls to one side while driving
šŸ‘‰ If your steering wheel isn’t straight when you’re going straight
šŸ‘‰ When you notice uneven tire wear
šŸ‘‰ After replacing suspension or steering parts (struts, control arms, tie rods, etc.)
šŸ‘‰ Or simply once a year / every 12,000 miles as preventative maintenance

If you’re not sure whether you need one, drop a comment and I’ll point you in the right direction!

Brand new car, salesman brought it over for a check engine light and a strong fuel smell. Codes showed it was running lean on the port injectors and misfiring on cylinder 4.
Did a quick visual and instantly caught that strong fuel odor. Sure enough, injector 4 was soaked. Pulled the fuel rail and found the culprit: a broken o-ring.
Looks like our jobs are safe for now… those assembly line robots still need a human to fix things up šŸ˜…

Unlike camber or toe, caster isn’t adjustable on most cars so if it’s off, something’s usually bent or worn out. In my case, I think it’s the struts.
