Just went outside to walk to Taco Bell after falling asleep at 9:30 or so last night to pay back the sleep debt I accumulated since starting my new assignment Wednesday. Instinctively I looked underneath my car, the car that was in traction for three days because it was leaking all over.
And it was leaking again. I even saw a drop drop from its undercarriage. This despite coming home a bit after 6 last night.
Now, I know the mechanic around the corner did not fix everything; it just cost too much. And I should have asked him on Thursday before I took back the car if I would still see fluids dripping down to the driveway. I am under no illusion that my car is perfectly "fixed." But he said all the leaks in the engine (oil is the fluid that's dripping down) are sealed up. I didn't think I would have to worry about that, at least. But now I do.
Have to talk to the guy tomorrow. What would be the worst possible scenario is that he didn't guarantee that nothing else would be leaking. I brought the car in in the first place because the mess was ruining my parents' driveway. After $1,100 it still doing that? Why the fuck did I try to get it fixed then?
