Update on my mom's capri
« on: August 05, 2009, 05:36:00 PM »
Ok so as the tile says here is an update.

We Now have the car running thanks to all with the suggestion of the module got the Mazda part and it fired right up.

Now, when we drove the car out and we noticed that there was a black puddle starting i would say on the passenger side of the more near the tire.  I honestly have no clue what it could be.

The car has sat since the first thread I started.  Im thinking we might just need to change the oil since it has sat so long.

Any ideas what it could be.

Black puddle? Sounds like engine oil. Check the oil in the engine... Make sure the oil drain plug is in tight. I wouldn't run the car untill you know exactly what it is.

Other than that it could be powersteering fluid. Can you see where it is coming from?
