I have a leak but the dealer says I don't

HoodR$CH · 06-05-2013, 07:19 AM

Any help would be much appreciated. I dropped my car off to the dealership after noticing a puddle of an oily substance right behind the drivers side wheel well. I thought it was DCT fluid, but the SA in his own words said "we cannot replicate the leak" He thought it may have been power steering fluid but checked the entire system and no problems there.

No hard driving or anything unusual happened before this. The car had been parked for a couple days before I noticed it.

That's hilarious. Obviously the dealer is not using both eyes to look at the car.

lol, so they just called me and said that the entire rack and pinion needs to be replaced. He said that this is very uncommon for this car.

If the cars under warranty, let them go to town. If not, I would have someone else look at it. They are obviously not overly concerned about it.
