Storing Your Car for Winter With Pat Goss

It's been a while since we have seen Pat Goss, so here he is once again, this time with tips on Storing Your Car for Winter.

Fixing A Car That Smokes Under The Hood

"Twas the night before Christmas

`Twas the night before Christmas and all through the dark


Not a car was still broken, all those plugs had there spark

Wrenches were stashed all snug in there boxes

While me by myself was having Christmas party leftovers, some bagels and loxes

Out in the lot there was such a clatter

I sprang to my feet and yelled Hey what's the matter!

Now what to my blood shot tired eyes should appear

But some crazy old guy with sleigh with reindeer

He approached the front door with a smile so bright

I quickly unlocked it and turned back on the office light

Excuse me kind sir but I am having some trouble

The left rudder on my sleigh has started to rumble

The balancing was wrong pulling much to the right

Those reindeer have been working too hard, this cold night

I have so much to do and little time to do it

Could you could please get right too it!

Without saying a word I went to work right away

Too bad the alignment machine had no specs for a sleigh

Meanwhile the reindeer were prancing around

That Rudolf and comet what a couple of clowns

In a matter of time the rudder was straight and the alignment done too

I helped him load up all the presents, but one

He wanted to pay me, but cash he had none

I hope it was from Sears a one half inch air gun

He started the sleigh by calling their names

Come now, Dasher! , Prancer and Blitzen!

Get off your butts Comet and Vixen!

It started to idle and float in the air

Then Rudolf lit up the sky with his nose extraordinaire

I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,

Happy Christmas to carfix_online, and to all a good-night!

Coolant Oil Mixing

In this vehicle we found trans fluid mixing with the coolant, but there was no external leak. It was being pressured into the overflow tank and leaking out the overflow tube. Our thought was that the trans cooler inside the radiator was leaking and mixing that way. We removed the radiator to confirm our suspicion. We were correct, but not in the way we thought. Here's what we found.
