Hi! Thank you already to all--I've already found great information lurking here the last two days since my beloved 2004 X Type Sport 3.0 AWD has developed an all too common oil leak of her own. I love my car, but don't know much about cars in general, so I'll apologize that I'll be more of a consumer of information (at least at first until I gain some ground--ever the optimist). My skill set right now is limited to replacing bent wheels . It seems the world is my pothole.

I have had my X Type since 2007 and have had excellent luck (other than the wheels). Now seems the time to learn more. What I've gathered so far is that I should not rush her to the dealership based on similar leaks described and that if it is the oil pan a lot of stuff has to come out of my car in order to do an expensive fix.

I'm a teacher in the Minneapolis area. I'm originally from Connecticut.

Thanks for running such a helpful forum!

 

Welcome to the forum, glad to have you aboard!

 

First, welcome to the forum! Second, we've now been forced to give you a nickname, because typing phrases like "Type A Girl with an X Type I think you should look here" or "Great storey Type A Girl with an X Type".

so, what should it be...keep it short and call you 'Type A', ala Rated R, recently departed from the Bachelor Pad show, or maybe TAG, short for Type A Girl...we'll see what sticks I suppose.

Enjoy the forums, it sounds like you not only have the patience, but the willingness to learn about your car's unique...shall we say, trouble areas. lol.

Oh yah, my aunt Viv lives up in Minneapolis, please tell her I said hello, and that I'm sorry I missed her birthday on Monday, but sent a belated one on her FB page...appreciate that assist TAG!

Good to have you here.

 

Welcome indeed,

I' ve been to Minnapolis once (a long time ago) in the early spring. Nice town, though a bit on the cold side. Layed over for a day or so on my way to Duluth (even colder) for a conference.

Again, welcome to the forums. The guys here a pretty passionate about their cars and will be more than happy to help out whenever they can.
