Q: Peter, my 1995 Jeep Grd Chk has a leak but I can't tell if it's oil or something else & it's barely been driven. Got any ideas?
I didn't even get it registered to drive until Nov 1st so it was only driven around the neighborhood to keep the battery going every since you did the repairs on it in June. Since I have a warranty for the work you did, would that cover an appointment for you to come out to see if the leak is related to the previous work done? The car is running fine and I haven't heard any strange noises but I know there are all kinds of different fluids under the hood. Please get back to me to let me know what you think and what the protocol is for checking on work under the warranty. Thanks!
