How NOT to BUY a USED truck!

What happens here

After the initial cold start, move the vehicle onto a clean, dry concrete surface. Let the engine run for a period and observe the ground beneath. This allows you to easily spot any fluid leaks (oil, coolant, transmission fluid, etc.) that may only appear once the engine warms up or under pressure. This provides a clear indication of potential gasket failures or other fluid containment issues.

Goal: After starting the cold engine, park the vehicle on a clean concrete surface and let it run to check for any fluid leaks.
