Hi all...
My well loved (176,000+ miles) and probably well abused (I'm the 9th owner and the car has lived on every coast and the midwest) '06 CRV appears to have oil and transmission fluid leaks according to the guys who did the last oil change. It hasn't been leaking badly enough that I notice much/any fluid on the garage floor.
A new-to-me, but locally well regarded shop told me that I'm leaking transmission fluid from a front axle boot, but that it's of no concern. And, that I have engine oil leaking from 3 places: "Valve cover seal, Oil pressure switch, and Oil spool valve". They want $690 to repair + $50 for diagnostic.
Aside from the valve cover gasket, I'm not familiar with the locations or severity of the types of the other leaks. I'd like to keep the car running well, but unsure how long I care to keep the car (another year or two max). Is this a "top it off as needed" resolution or "pay the money and don't be cheap" resolution?
Also, I find myself more concerned about the ATF fluid than anything else. Should I be?
Thanks all!
