Default Really? Really? A leak? !

Can I not cut a break ? Today went to have a minor problem fixed, which we hope we did. And grumpy noticed a small leak, and it was trans fluid. It looks like it is just the fitting, and we didn't have the correct tools, but why is it one thing after another? I understand that things break, are old, but this is brand spanking new.

Sorry guys just had to vent !

Having a 40 year old car is like being married,crap always pops up.Fix it and be happy until something else breaks.

The car has been parked in the garage for a couple of days and today I am hoping to have the problem fixed.

I worry when my cars don't leak... means there's nothing left in 'em.
