The radiator on my old Ram decided that today would be a good day to let go.

This old tired motor leaks SOOOOOO MUCH OIL.

I'm adding about 2-3 quarts a week, and that's just going 18 miles to work. If I actually go across town, or drive any larger distances, I might go though several in a day.

I'm going to borrow a hoist, and replace that rear main seal soon (it's just getting ridiculous).

Anyways, I want to know what sort of stains do your guy's daily drivers leave?

I've had serious oil leakers in the past, but have usually used hyperlube as a stop gap before repairs mainly because I get ticked off at the expense of the oil.

Daily drivers, so my square doesn't really leak anything so nothing from it knock on wood. My 96 grand cherokee that is suppose to be my DD leaks tranny fluid out of the transfer case, and engine oil out of the rear main. Enough to be seen as a few drops over night and a good smear to the under carriage. 15 or so years ago I was given an 1985 Honda Accord, my plan was to fix it up a little and sell it but it was in such bad shape I don't feel good about selling someone an pile of crap just to put a few bucks in my pocket, so I decided to keep it thinking it would be dead in a few months anyway. It leaked every fluid in car, engine oil, manual tranny fluid, coolant out the back of the head. It was a mess in other ways to, mainly with rust and bad CV joints ect. I decided I'd put it on the gas and oil program and run it till it dropped. Drove it for a little over a year as a commuter and eventually gave it to someone else that needed a runner and I'd well had my fill of driving that POS.

My water pump just changed its mind about keeping water in it. I'll fix it later, I got some coolant to top it off with.
