I know, its just a priority issue right now. There are quite a few things to be fixed in this car, so I will just decided which one is more pressing and has to be dealt with first. I don't mind to top the oil up as needed. Right now I am aware that there is a transmission leak from teh seal in the torque converter area (mechanic says torq converter has to be lowered from the car to fix this problem) so its probably not gonna be cheap. What else, the heater blower fan is acting up, everytime I switch it from high to low I hear this loud screetching sound. What else the steering fluid needs to be replaced because it has ATF fluid in there instead of steering fluid, courtesy of the previous owner. The differential is loud, so it makes a nice whinning noise when you drive down the street. I already sanked in $5000 & change since I bought this car, I guess I will keep it and see how it goes. It is a beautiful car in my opinion.
