Try running some of that high-mileage engine oil next time you do an oil change (it helps to swell engine seals slightly). If the problem clears up or is reduced, then it's likely that the rear main oil seal is starting to leak a little. The rubber seals will harden up and shrink a little with age. I would also powerwash the entire area clean, so that way any leak will be easier to monitor and pinpoint.
Hello, If you are still under Warranty, try a different Dealer. When I had a problem with a leak, I took a piece of cardboard and put it under the truck overnight. Then I took the cardboard and the truck to the Dealer for a Warranty repair.
If you can see the leak by crawling under the truck, the newer Digital cameras can be helpful in documenting problems. Since they are Digital, you can erase any fuzzy photos and experiment until you get good results. This would go a long way to stop having a mechanic just wipe the oil off and send you on your way.
If you do not have a reader for the photo taken by the camera, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite-Aid and other drugstores have photo equipment to make any size print you want, usually for less than $1 a print.
The rear main seal can drip where you indicate. If you have an Automatic trans, there is usually a dust shield covering the Torque converter. Some are easy to remove and if the rear seal is leaking, you should have oil covering the Torque converter area.
I hope my Solution is very helpful in solving your problem.
Valve Covers, Head Gaskets, Oil Pan Seal and a number of other spots. You'll need to clean the motor with Gunk Engine cleaner and then look for the largest build ups of oil and crud to get a better idea where it is.
If you are referring to water dripping under the car as long as it is only when A/c is on and the water feels cold..this is normal. The drain tube is located on the bottom of the evaporator case and most cars will drip wated from that tube. Sometimes if that tube gets clogged up, you will actually have water leaking into the car on the passenger side floor.
On this valve the hot/cold in reverse is easy enough to fix, but the faucet dripping at the handle is another issue. To reverse the hot and cold, turn off the house water, relieve the pressure by opening a nearby faucet. Once the water stops, remove the handle and faucet cover so you can see the valve. then the four screws that are visible need to be removed. Mark one of the screw holes with a crayon or pencil and then remove by pulling straight out. Once out, inspect the main o-ring right behind where it sits against the valve, (if this is damaged, it might be why the handle area is leaking) then turn the whole assembly clockwise 180 degrees then insert straight back in and insert screws. Tighten screws until snug. Turn water back on before installing cover and handle to check for leaks. If no leaks are found, install cover and handle and check for proper position of hot and cold. If there are leaks, tighten screws in clockwise rotation tightening each screw a quarter turn, then moving to the next one until dripping stops. If dripping is from center of stem, where the handle attaches, you will need to contact Price Pfister to request a replacement. They are very good to work with. Good luck.
Take the drain hose out of the regular drain and lower it to gravity drain into a bucket, pan, or floor drain if available. Turning the water off should not have prevented the machine from starting. The drip is likely coming from a leaking solenoid water valve at the rear of the machine where the hoses connect. Replace the valve assembly after removing the cabinet top and maybe the cabinet back panel. Make sure to remove the power if you are going to do the work. Hope this helps!
Sounds like the valve cover gasket, clean off all the oil on the engine with a pressure washer or a steam cleaner and then drive it and recheck for the leak, that way you can pin it down for sure.
It is very possible that the water control valve on the rear of your refrigerator needs replaced. It would also be a good idea to install a pre-filter before the water gets to the water control valve. I believe the side of the valve that controls the water dispenser is stuck open slightly allowing water to drip. You can test by disconnecting the wires to the dispenser side and see if the drip stops. When you press dispense water the dual water control valve opens completely on the rear for the water to flow. If the seal inside is defective it will leak. Here are a couple places to finds the Dual Water control Valve
Just enter your part number or model number or click on the photo on the second site listed. They are both good suppliers. Let me know if this is helpful or if you need more help Thanks, Sea Breeze
The most likely place for an engine to start leaking oil (when it's coming from the top and not the bottom) is around the valve covers -- the gasket goes bad. Next most likely is camshaft seals.
Sometimes just tightening the valve cover botls will stop it or at least reduce it.
