Well, what looks like a leaking transmission pan is actually leaking power steering lines! Fluid travels down and collects at the lowest point, making it look like the leak is coming from somewhere else.

If you ever notice your oil pan or transmission pan covered in fluid, don’t automatically assume that’s where the leak is. Always start by looking for the highest wet spot and trace it back to the source.

A little extra time diagnosing can save a lot of money replacing parts that weren’t bad in the first place!

Another busy week here at Ricci Automotive! 🔧🚗
We had a little bit of everything come through the shop this week. From major engine repairs to routine maintenance, we’ve been staying busy keeping our customers’ vehicles on the road!
Here’s a quick recap of what we’ve been working on:
🔧 Volvo S60 – Finished up a cylinder head rebuild, along with a new timing belt, water pump, and all the work that goes into getting everything back together and running right.
🛞 Ram 1500 – Complete front and rear brake replacement.
🔩 Ford F-250 – Replaced catalytic converters and shocks.
⛽ Buick LeSabre – Repaired sections of badly rotted fuel lines.
⚙️ Honda CR-V – Transmission fluid service.
🔍 Another Honda CR-V – Diagnosed multiple issues and getting ready for some major repairs, including front CV axles, wheel bearings, timing chain set, and water pump.
🔧 Jeep Wrangler – Diagnosed and replaced a faulty fuel injector.
🛠️ Kia Sportage – Front and rear brakes along with an oil change.
It’s been a busy week, but we’re grateful for every customer who trusts us with their vehicle. Whether it’s a simple oil change, brake work, diagnostics, or a major engine repair, we take pride in doing the job right.

While preparing for another repair on this Wrangler, we spotted a leak at the intake manifold. 🔧
Coolant passes through the intake manifold, and the gasket seals those passages where the manifold meets the cylinder heads. In this case, coolant appears to be escaping onto the head and evaporating as it heats up.
Depending on where the gasket fails, coolant can also leak internally and potentially enter the cylinders, causing symptoms that can resemble a blown head gasket. That’s why finding the source of the leak matters before jumping to conclusions!

This XJ is here at Ricci Auto for front U-joints, sway bar end links, and sway bar bushings. My guys who like to go wheeling know how much fun these Jeeps are! Working on this one makes me want to buy one and join the club. 🤘
