Post by treeneedle »

I have a 97 960 when I went to gas station today as the car was being filled up it started to leak underneath I drove it home and since it has been in the driveway the is no leak. Any thoughts and can I fix it myself. thanks as always.

Was it punctured? Is there a small hole?
Are you sure it didn't briefly overflow and run along the bottom and drip?
Pictures would be nice,
In the mean time... I wouldn't recommend driving.. Obviously..
Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary... That's what gets you.
