    Default Problem after problem

    I went to the sprayer's today, to help him out with my bumpers since he's a mate of mine (it's more of my mom bangin' him type deal, but you know.) and while I was there I changed the wheel cylinder.

    It's true what they say. The moment you fix something, another thing goes. The moment I set the car down and went for a drive, when I came back, I noticed the gearbox was leaking a bit from the inspection panel.

    Just a gasket, right?

    Hopefully.

    Most likely just a gasket or not tightened up enough.

    I've never undone it, and it just started leaking today. More than likely a gasket. Shouldn't be too pricey for one of them right?

    Well, he's like, 30 something. I met him through her. He needed help one day and I went to help him. He paid me, gave me 2 jugs of coolant and bought me a pizza, so he's alright in my books.

    And nah, the only thing he's gonna charge me for is the materials and paints and stuff he used, not for the labor.

    Pretty sure it's gearbox oil, since it was coming from the inspection plate on it.
