“I own a 1995 mitsibushi Montero sr. About a week ago I noticed an oil leak from the back of the car. I took my car to the mechanic and he check it out and told me that the rear transaxle was cracked on the left side (driver side) where it was welded together from the manufacturer and differential oil was leaking through there. I drove the car back home about a mile to find out that it completely broke loose around the weld and the wheel was slanted on a side almost to come out. It's holding on now by only the other parts of the rear suspension. …”
