Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery to avoid any electrical issues.

2. Identify and Repair the Leak

A. Engine Oil Leak

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove engine covers if necessary to access gaskets.
  2. Inspect and replace faulty gaskets (e.g., valve cover gasket) using a torque wrench to ensure proper tightness.
  3. Clean the area around the leak to ensure no more oil escapes.

B. Coolant Leak

• Sub-steps:
  1. Drain the coolant system using a drain pan.
  2. Inspect and replace any damaged hoses or the radiator using appropriate clamps.
  3. Refill the coolant system with a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water, and bleed the system to remove air pockets.

C. Transmission Fluid Leak

• Sub-steps:
  1. Check the transmission pan for leaks; replace the pan gasket if necessary.
  2. Inspect the transmission cooler lines for damage and replace as needed.
  3. Refill the transmission with appropriate fluid type as specified by the manufacturer.

3. Final Assembly

• Reattach any components removed during repair.
• Reconnect the battery.
