Well, after careful examination... It's coming out of the forward facing end of the muffler. It's not water though. The leaking fluid is slippery between fingers so it has a pH that is higher than 9 or so. It smells like gas sorta... but I'm going to have it towed to the dealer because Flammable Fluid + Muffler = A Really Hot Seat. I took some pictures, so you be the judge: So far today it's made about three slicks that big since I've been moving the car around the block to test the brakes, but it also made a huge slick about a foot wide and four feet long.

Well Joy of Joys... it's now leaking Either Brake Fluid or Gasoline. Big 2 Foot stain under the rear of the car. Fluid appears to be clear, I'm not sure what it is.

Neat! Harley, it's good to see you online again!

Well, DF, In The Last Three Months... Radio (Installed) 225$ Bulb and Inspection (Twice) 90$ Water Pump + Labor - 538$ Electrical Fault Inspection 135$ ABS Sensor (Shorted Out) 635$ Instrument Inspection (64$) I've paid 1687$ In the Last Three Months FOUND BUT NOT FIXED Instrument Panel Circuit Board (Fried) Would Have Cost 775$ Fault in Wiper Control Arm Would Have Cost 325$ I believe Plus About 1100$ in Repairs that are Non-Essential and were not done.

Haha, this just keeps getting better. Took it to a dealer where the service department is open on Saturdays. They said my left front Blinker Bulbs (cornering lamp) was burnt out, which is strange because I've replaced that same bulb once already not two months ago. The one on the right side is the original bulb. This time, however, it wasn't the bulb only. They said the bulb along with the socket and all the good stuff that powers that bulb was "fried" (read shorted out, cooked like a thanksgiving turkey) They, surprise surprise, suspect a short did it just like they suspect other shorts all over the car are frying out electronics and electrical systems. So they couldn't fix everything today. They didn't even get a chance to look at my reverse lights and brake lights only to tell me that the bulbs were fine. Oh, and by the way, on the way home my engine started making this loud squeaky squealing noise from the engine compartment that can be heard from inside the car. So there's a bearing or a belt that needs to be replaced.

I've seen like twelve, of which only one was a rental.

Well A. Power Adjustable Pedals needed to stay, I rather liked them. B. I'm officially holding off till 2009 to lease that Cobalt. I want to be able to have VVT and that BEAUTIFUL Silver Moss Color. I am concerned that it no longer has a block heater, especially in Canada.

BV, I may yet give it a Viking Funeral BTW now the Brake Lights won't Work. So I'm not driving it until it's fixed. My mom's on a short sabbatical so I can borrow the Maxx in the meantime.

Reeaally Old Male.

If they made a Civi version of the Transit Connect, with a 6 Cyl... That might be something I'd consider (over a Flex definitely)

Well Obviously... I wouldn't be very safe or conscious if i didn't now would I?

Well, today I was at a buddy's and when I was backing out when I left he called me and told me that my back up lights are out. I tested at home and sure enough, my back up lights both won't come on either. So you can add that to the list of things that the gremlins have gotten to. That Cobalt lease is looking more appealing by the minute.

Well, I know there's wiring under my car's floor, maybe that's where the problem is.

And my first born?

Definately male, maybe elderly male, but male just the same. The Lucerne is much more Girly in my opinion.

I'm just afraid of the labour charges *cringes*

290/Mo Smartlease @ MSRP (actual would be cheaper then, I figure knock about 2 Large off of the MSRP) 2008 Cobalt LT Sedan Power Windows Power Locks XM Onstar Head Curtains Keyless Entry Block Heater ABS Automatic Transmission Cruise Control

I don't know- maybe come November or so, I'll crunch the numbers. I might be able to finance an off lease Cobalt LT Sedan, or do a 3-Year Lease on a new Cobalt, so I'm not replacing any more nuisance items. I get my dad's 2007 Impala LS in two and a half years, or I'll get my Granddad's 2007 Impala LS (identical cars except for colour) sooner if the Province of Alberta decides he shouldn't drive any more before then. Otherwise, I need a sane solution. Two more years of this torture will just give me a peptic ulcer so I'm not sure at all. I'd be willing to commit to a 2-Year lease on a basic 4-Banger with warranty because at this rate I'd be paying less monthly for that than the repairs that just keep piling on until an Impala is ready for me. I had to have the radio wired completely independently of the rest of the car just to get it to work. Something's seriously screwed up, and it's now screwed up my Turn Signals, Door Locks, Radio, ABS Sensor, Parking Brake and other Warning Lights. When something serious gets screwed, then I'll find the problem and fix it but until then, I've had enough of 500+$ Repair Bills, monthly.

It looks sharp, but for that price you could have gotten an off lease GXP with not many miles

About that Valium- My little electrical problem has spread beyond the ABS and Radio to the turn signals, where the electrical fault is causing the blinkers on one side to go crazy fast while the 4-Ways and Right Turn Signals are fine. I've already checked the obvious (bulbs/Fuses) once again, and everything is fine. So now depending on where my foot is on the floor, my turn signals might work, or they might not. It gets more interesting- now, intermittently, when I lock or unlock the power locks, the locks go crazy and they unlock, lock, unlock, and lock again in random succession. I have to wait for them to stop to be able to gain access to the car from the outside. It will be poetically sweet when one day my Cavalier will cease to let me in at all Any Ideas?

I do every day... And people thing 4A's are bad!

Oh Well, to each his own- but that is a nice Monte in the background
