So my 03 SVTF has all of 6,530km on it and after backing into my spot in the underground parking lot at my apartment I notice some fluid drips leading to my car. Look underneath and there is a small puddle under the car. Already I'm not impressed. I took the car outside to get a better look and I can see it leaking from somewhere on the passenger side on only leaks when the car is running. Fluid seemed redish so my first though was trans fluid. It's about 4:45pm so I boot down to the dealership which is about 10 mins away and just before I get there the I can hear the steering rack start to whine. They took the car in right away, and threw it on the hoist and thought is was the pressure switch (?) for the power steering. They tightend something up, but still dripping. :angry: Next they undid the line and resealed it and that seemed to do the trick. They said it was just a freak thing that doesn't usually happen. So alls well that ends well I guess. I'm just happy that I caught it right away. Damn mexican built car! Hey Tito, but down that joint and get back to work!!! Hopefully this one got out of the way nice and early and there won't be another one for awhile. Pretty sad though that when driving a Focus you expect to have a next problem.
