Eric the car guy. You are awesome!!! Miss the vids. Sure if you are in a new shop or not but I have been following for at lest 6-7 years.

Parked on a slight incline was my classmate's '57 Chevy and while he was showing us his trunk mounted sound system, another guy urinated in the front of the car. The urine rolled down to the rear of the car. Someone said, "what's that leak" and my classmate touched the fluid and tasted it. That's all I really remember for High School.

I just had to do this a few days ago. Turned out to be the condensation from the AC.

😱The look on my 12yo’s face when I tasted the puddle under my ‘75 Corvette yesterday to figure out what was leaking. Turns out it was coolant but wasn’t from my car.

I identify that shit based off smell😂lady brought in a napkin with tranny fluid on it and asked if I could figure out what it was cuz it was a massive leak. I told her and she didn't believe me. Swore up and down there was no way. She can back the next day and gave me a $20 bill cuz she took it to a shop and sure enough, the tranny wasn't cool with its fluid anymore and kicked it out the house. She was stunned and thankful because she said if she hadn't asked me and the shop told her that, she would have felt like she was getting scammed and not gotten it fixed. Super sweet lady Great video tho. Spot on

White cardboard placed under vehicle makes color easier to see plus location of leak even though fluids do travel long distances

Hey Eric! You had an old video where you talked about easily sliding house clamps, you used some spray can. You mentioned you already use this lubricant and you go through cans of it. What was it again I can't find it?

Hey bro. Do you know on a 04 F150 Lariat 5.4 4 x 4 Under the intake thru the openings between the head and throttle body. Those sorta insulating panels in those openings. When removing and reinstalling the intake. Must those panels be put back? I can't find any info or part numbers on them anywhere. I'd appreciate your input. Thanks stay cool

Just taste it. Oil tastes bad , Transmission fluid taste sweet , power steering fluid taste good , coolant taste tangy , brake fluid tastes like Mountain Dew,
