Hi People,
A pre-purchase mechanical inspection identified two issues on a car we are looking at purchasing.
Oil leak showing on the underside of the splash shield (skid tray), but engine looked dry. {see image in first comment below this post] Both tied rod bushings are wet; power steering fluid needs adjustment (according to report) [See images in the second post below.]
The vehicle is interstate (NSW), so hard for me to assess. I am registering in QLD, so need to pass a Road Worthy.
What would likely be the cause 1 and 2?
And what would be an estimated cost of repair?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
PaulC
