I love it when
My 22 year old car is on a lift and the leaks I see are very minor and limited to four areas:
1) speedo plug on trans (replaced)
2) timing cover
3) valvecover gasket
4) differential
And none of them are leaving so much as a trace on the ground. 
Of course the other leak is my goddam AC compressor. This is now #6 for the car (first lasted 1995-2014). All lines were replaced in '14 with the first new condenser...and all condensers since then have either leaked or screamed. This one is one day old now but holding up thus far  All of them were AC Delco, replaced under warranty. But still an inconvenience.

I've always sourced parts like compressors from Arizona Mobile Air. A lot of the remans are complete garbage. If it says 'Four Seasons' on it run away.
