Leaking fluids	Sign In

Hi everyone. My vehicle is a jeep commander, 2006, v6, 117238. (last oil change 112924). I just had my oil changed and the tech at jiffy lube told me i was leaking oil, tranny fluid, AND coolant. I have noticed over the last week that the heat wasnt working very well. The oil light came on this morning. They said the coolant reservoir was empty today.

What are we looking at here? Major engine crack or something? it seems unlikely that it is just a loose hose if all these things are leaking. That being said it was the auto guy at jiffy lube and not a certified mechanic doing a formal inspection.

thanks

That's certainly an understatement.

You just need to get the car inspected by a competent technician.

You should be checking these fluid levels yourself regularly anyway and you need to check them before even driving it again.

I can't even begin to guess what may be leaking on your car. I'm not there to see it. Give us some information and maybe we can give you some advice but you aren't going to find out where your leak is by asking someone online.
