The van runs good and at about 40,000 started oil leak.......small took it to service they said fixed no charge............tightened a hose connection.

It must have come loose it's starting to leak again at 116,000 miles and it's just a drop or two (enough to mess up the garage floor) and @ 116,000 uses no oil.

Wonder what small hose connection they were talking about and why didn't they just replace the hose?

Hi there,

Place a sheet of paper on the floor where the leak is and let me know if it is red or black oil, it could be transmission, power steering or engine oil leaking, we first better sort out what is is first, and let me know the rough location of the leak.
