Hey guys so recently i've noticed oil leaking or power fluid leaking on my 2011 turbo with nearly 70,000 miles. The fluid that is leaking from my car is this dark fluid, almost looks like engine oil or power steering fluid. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem with their car. Is this...

Two quick questions. 2014 Kia Optima SX Turbo 1 - Is it normal for this car to run abnormally rough before it warms up? Ever since its cooled down here, it hesitates on acceleration until the 3rd bar on the temp gauge lights up. The reason I ask is because cool here is still 40-50 degrees...

So at 500 miles and only 3 weeks old I notice a few drops of transmission fluid in my garage. Look under the car and see that the splash shield is wet from a transmission leak. Dropped it off this morning at the Dealer and was just told that it leaking from the valve body cover gasket. No...

I've had to put in new coolant since it was already on the L in the reservoir tank (at 7500 miles) and I'm seeing now that it's already halfway down again. I filled it to the F about 2 weeks ago and it is halfway to the L line already! It looks like it's leaking out of the cap and dripping down...

This is no big deal, but I find it strange and I have cleaned it several times and it is spreading more and more. Seems to look like oil or armourall, but I have not had the car long enough that I would be doing this sort of stuff..in fact I have found a swiffer works best for cleaning the dash.
