problem #1

Jan 232006

Legacy 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 3,350 miles
My husband noticed oil accumulating on the driveway. He looked and found the driver's front strut had leaked oil on the brake caliper, left front wheel, left front axle rubber boot and the driveway. The dealer has ordered parts to replace the strut. They say the brakes and axle protective boot are unaffected by the oil. I don't know if they will let me keep the strut since the car is new and under warranty.
