Re: [Amc-list] Mystery Leak

Someone else park in your spot before you? <G> I've been trying to find 
where the puddles of oil are coming from under my '87 Comanche too. I go 
@5,000 miles between changes (15W40 Napa synthetic with Napa gold filter and 
240,000 on the truck) and it never goes down the stick and all other fluids 
are full! I swear someone comes and parks in my spot while my wife and I are 
at work!
   The AF leak could be from a pin hole that plugged itself up. Stranger 
things have happened! (My Comanche had weak rear brakes, so I tired to bleed 
them. No fluid. Moved towards the front at each joint. There was fluid at 
the valve in front and nothing at the rear hose. Saw a spot of rust on the 
line and touched it. Immediately started leaking and drained the master! I 
had been running front brakes only for almost 2 years!)

Last week I parked the Javelin in the driveway at lunchtime
after driving about 10 minutes from the office. After lunch I
was greeted by a puddle of antifreeze in the driveway. Opened
the hood and traced the leak to the lower left side of the
radiator. I put her in the garage and went back to work. That
evening I backed it out, checked the fluid level (full) and
warmed it up to determine the exact source of the leak. No leak.
I drove it around for a while, no leak. I've been driving it all
week, still no leak. Temp gauge reads fine, it's not
overheating, it's running great! Any thoughts?
