I picked up a 2010 Exp in late 2020, and have done allllll the work on it recommended, all fluids, etc. I've known there was a small transmission leak, but didn't seem to be a big problem, no signs of it on my driveway. I should say, I don't drive much, it gets less than 2000 miles a year, car has 116k on it. On a recent visit, they advised doing the UV dye, since they saw signs of leakage. Damage report today on viewing the UV dye:
Cost of the repairs probably exceeds KBB of the car. Now I do some of the work on the car myself, but this is above my paygrade, and in all honesty, I could easily be getting hit extra hard cause I'm a woman. I'm getting different advice from different people on the severity of the issue, and I'm trying to figure out if this car is really worth this work. I'd planned to roadtrip with it this month, and I'm concerned now about doing so. Pics attached from the garage that did the work.Timing cover is leaking.
