Default Bad news/good news

Yesterday afternoon I happened to glance under my car... A huge puddle of fluid under the left side toward the middle. I looked closer and the puddle was under the power steering actuator. The reservior was almost empty. The good news is it was just a loose line fitting. Tightened it and all is OK. Too bad all repair can't be this simple. It makes me wonder why it got loose, I'll be keeping an eye on it for awhile.

Glad to hear it was a easy fix. I have some good news/bad news also. While adjusting my wiper door, I had the wiper grill off. It has a slight flat spot in the middle so i decided to see if I could tweak it a little to get the right curve. Bad idea. The grill snapped as I applied pressure to bend. So, wiper door adjusted/wiper grill broke into two pieces.
