Sounds like some Ford car mech's. My sister-in-law
had a Ford Maverick and she took it to the gurage 6
times for an oil leak 4 times they replaced the tranny
gasket and have no idea what they did the other 2 times. I went with her for the 7th time and asked for the shop foreman, told him this makes the 7th time she has brought her car for this oil leak and they changed the tranny gasket 4 times and the leak is from above so changing the tranny gasket will not fix the leak. He had a mech put the car on the hoist and you could see the oil was coming from the dip stick, foreman felt around the dip stick and told the mech go get a rubber gasket from a car on the lot and tag it. The whole side of the tranny was covered in oil and common sense would show oil don't run up hill! It needed the rubber gasket for
the dip stick as that was where the oil was coming
from.
