TParis00ap Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hey Guys,So I'm not a car guy and I'm not trying to speak garage, but I have taken a few guesses and your help would be appreciated. Sorry if I get it wrong. I know how annoying it is when I go to help someone with their computer and they try to tell me what the problem is and it has nothing to do with what they are suggesting.First problem:My break squeal even when I do not have my foot on the break. If I put my foot on the break gently, it'll stop. It may not start back up right away after I release the break but it will start up eventually. My breaks also squeal when I am stopping. I've replaced all my break pads and it didn't help. I'm guessing I need a tire alignment perhaps? Not sure.Second problem:I have a transmissions leak. It seems to be leaking a lot and I've been backfilling it with more oil. Some pictures of the transmission are attached. I didn't grab a picture, I meant to, but where the front axle meets the tranny on the right side, it is really bad there. Third Problem:I also appear to have a leak on my engine where the spark plugs go in the back. You can see the gasket in Engine_5.jpg and it looks like it's leaking from there. I need to replace my spark plugs, would that be a good time to replace this gasket? What's it called? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 For the brakes, try doing several hard stops in a row from 50 mph or so (making sure nobody is behind you). When the pads were replaced were the rotors replaced or turned? Your leak is most likely the PTU. Common problem - just do a search on "PTU".

Thanks for the PTU hint, I'll look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 This may help you with the PTU's most frequent problem area: TSB 09-25-7 (an older version here: http://www.revbase.com/BBBMOTOR/TSb/DownloadPdf?id=143861) Maybe this also, though this is for the 2010: TSB 11-4-20 (http://revbase.com/BBBMotor/TSb/DownloadPdf?id=176591) Your calipers might be sticking. Were they serviced/greased when the pads were replaced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
