My 560 is leaking everywhere!

Just a rant. My car had a small coolant leak at upper hose. I had unclamped it to install a new t-stat last summer. The hose, with its hard rubber, did not make a good seal. So I thought replacement would fix the slow leak. There is another, passenger side front intake to head. Ugh!

My trans is leaking fluid to the point where is flares on the 1-2 shift. Again, thought I found the leak and corrected it. I must have another. 1.25 quarts later its back in the right level. For now.

Front caliper appears to be leaking. Saw the brake fluid level was very, very low. Topped it off and its holding fine. I think the recent weather (snow) caused the ABS to run a lot more than normal. Must have pronounced the leak. Got new calipers in, both defective (broken/bent bleeder valves). New ones on order.

Oil is leaking from somewhere. Possible the oil pressure sensor or maybe the oil filter housing gasket. Either way, there is a tiny leak that needs to be fixed.

And dont get me started on the SLS.

I think the only thing NOT leaking is the power steering. It did at one time a little then stopped. I give it a week before it starts again.

I just hope it hold up til late spring, when its a little easier working on this stuff in the driveway versus the garage...
