This Subaru Crosstrek came in with oil leaks from the upper oil pan and valve cover gaskets. Addressing the upper oil pan leak meant removing the entire engine and doing some serious disassembly!

So, are oil leaks a big deal?

Not always! Some leaks are minor and can be monitored, while others need more immediate attention. The important thing is knowing where the oil is coming from and how severe the leak is.

Left unchecked, oil leaks can lead to low oil levels, damage to surrounding components, and potentially serious engine damage.

The takeaway? Don’t panic over every oil spot, but don’t ignore it either!

Sometimes a little leak can turn into a pretty big job.

Long's Tip of the Week: Overheating? Don't Push Your Luck!

When your engine starts overheating, every extra mile can make a difference — and not in a good way!
What starts as a relatively minor cooling system issue can quickly turn into a much more expensive repair if you continue driving.
Excessive engine heat can cause:
- Warped cylinder heads
- Blown head gaskets
- Severe internal engine damage

But what about turning on the heater?

You've probably heard that turning your heater on full blast can help cool an overheating engine. And that's true! Your heater can help pull some heat away from the engine.
BUT — it's a temporary measure, NOT a solution!
It may help while you're finding a safe place to stop, but it doesn't fix the problem or make it safe to continue your commute. Depending on the cause of the overheating, it may not help at all.

What should you do?

Pull over as soon as it's safe, shut off your engine, and arrange for a tow. Never open a radiator or coolant reservoir cap while the engine is hot!
Remember: A tow bill is a whole lot cheaper than an engine replacement!

LONG'S TIP OF THE WEEK
When was the last time you actually checked your tire pressure?
Your tires naturally lose air over time, and changes in temperature can affect tire pressure as well. As we head into cooler weather, it's a good time to make sure your tires are properly inflated.
One important thing to remember:
The number printed on the sidewall of your tire is NOT necessarily the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
Your vehicle's recommended tire pressure can usually be found on the sticker inside the driver's door jamb.
Taking a couple of minutes to check your tire pressure can help your tires wear more evenly and perform as they should.
Quick tip: Check your tire pressure when your tires are cold for the most accurate reading.
When's the last time you checked yours?

FUN FACT FRIDAY

Okay, be honest...

Have you ever pulled into a gas station and completely forgotten which side your gas door is on?

That little arrow next to your fuel gauge has your back.

➡ It tells you which side of the vehicle your fuel door is on.

Did you already know this, or have you done the awkward lean out of your vehicle to see which side it is on, like I have?

Drop a 🚗 if you knew!

LONG'S TIP OF THE WEEK
Why is my steering wheel shaking?
One of the most common causes we see is an issue with the brake rotors.
There are several things that can contribute to an uneven rotor surface. Holding the brake pedal down after a hard stop can sometimes allow brake material to transfer unevenly onto the rotor. Excessive heat can also contribute, especially from hard braking, frequent braking on mountain roads (a common one around here!), or braking while towing or carrying a heavy load.
A sticking brake caliper can cause similar conditions by keeping the brake pad pressed against the rotor when it shouldn't be.
But brake rotors aren't the only possible cause of a shaking steering wheel. Other common causes include:
- Worn or damaged tires
- Wheels that are out of balance
- Worn or damaged suspension components
- Wheel alignment issues
The important thing is that a shaking or vibrating steering wheel is worth having checked out. The cause could be something relatively simple—or something that needs attention before it becomes a bigger problem.
Have you ever had this happen to your vehicle? What ended up being the cause?

F-150 Timing Chain Replacement

This F-150 came in needing a timing chain replacement — and on this one, getting access meant pulling the cab. 😳

The timing system keeps the engine’s camshafts and crankshaft synchronized, so everything happens at the right time. When those components wear or fail, it can lead to poor performance or, in some cases, serious engine damage.

So yes… sometimes a “timing chain job” looks like this. 😂

Big repair, lots of moving parts, and plenty of attention to detail to get everything timed and sealed correctly.

Another F-150 back together and ready to roll!
