Hate to take up space with another thread on this, but here’s the scoop. We buy the truck last night… drive it home for 2 hours. Something smells burnt in the garage, we figure it’s normal during break-in. Call GM and dealer this morning just to make sure, they say “yeah” normal. Ok, fair enough. So wife calls during the day says there’s a leak, bla bla bla. Mind you she’s a couple of hours away meeting a client. I tell her to keep an eye the temp guide and watch out for any weird sounds.
I’m leaving work, walking towards my own truck… oh $hit – bumper is completely covered in oil…WTF?!?!?! This is the truck I was following her in last night. I never noticed because we got home at dark last night and I left early this morning. My windshield is covered in tiny dots, which last night I thought were just bunch of tiny bugs off the highway.
I get home… H3 in the garage… oil all over the floor. H3 is completely covered in oil in the back: tailgate, window, bumper, lights, tire, everything. I look under… it’s EVERYWHERE. F************CK!!! THE THING IS NOT EVEN A DAY OLD!!! I can’t tell where it’s coming from yet, my guess is a gasket blew somewhere, but I’ll check again tonight once I cool off and get my head on straight, I’m so livid right now… For all I know it could be a loose oil filter.
Now I get to deal with service, rental, cleanup… who knows what other kind of BS, in addition to worrying about potential damage this caused, what could be contaminated by oil, etc. I MEAN DAAAMN!!!
She had a perfectly good Lexus before this… Ok, done venting for now, I was hoping to take some pix tonight too. F*CK! ...what a disappointment...
