Well, after giving my dealer cudo's in another post I got a really bad call this morning. My car was in the shop for a leaking front strut (among other things) and it seems the mechanic overfilled the hydralic tank and then took the car for a test drive. Fluid leaked out of the tank and melted (their words) the power steering line and damaged a motor mount.

So, here's my question. What else could have been damaged? Is there anything I should make sure I check out before I take the car back?

Thanks for any suggestions.

how could leaking hydraulic fluid melt anything? Something is fishy...

Just my .02 worth:

There is something else to the story, that we don't know about. I know brake fluid is slightly corrosive, but either fluid would have to be leaking on that line for sometime ( months ) in order to cause it to " melt " to the point of failure...

Is your car here ( PP ) or somewhere else? I'd be ahppy to look into it if it's here... or could make a call ( in a favor ) somewhere up North...

maybe the fluid caught on fire?
