Under-car check

Safely jack up the car as shownin the jacking guide. Of course, get the owner's permission, and even better, get their assistance.

Starting at the front of the car, just behind and under the radiator, check the two transmission cooling hoses. This is the updated style with protective spring covering. This protects them from road debris and the A/C compressor belt.

Check the lines for weeping, and if the old style is present, check for cracks, cuts, etc.
