time to let go ?

[briggie]

my truck has started pissing oil out , im not sure exactly where from because I cant get underneath it , but it is making a heck of a mess where ever I park , also the rear suspension bushes and stuff needs replacing ...... its been a very good truck while ive had it ....... oodles of power , .... is it time to say enough is enough ?

initial investigations into fluid levels show ...

engine oil ...... a little low , but within limits .

atf ...... very low level under min mark ......... but was checked when cold

coolant ..... level ok ( hasn't changed for months )

brake fluid ...... a little low , but between marks

ps fluid .......... a little low , but within marks

truck now at garage , atf level is fine once warmed up , it seems the leak is coming from a plate on the sump , so needs a new gasket , .... the rear suspension is summat called a trailing arm bush(s)

The suspension shouldn't be too bad to get done...

I read on here that the sumps rust, so is it just a plate, or has the sump rusted. I think that replacing the sump is quite expensive as the front axle has to come off.

Good luck, hope it is nice and easy, and more importantly, CHEAP...:thumbs
