LSA Monte Carlo: First Test Drive After 3 Years! (It Might Blow Up)

What happens here

After exiting the highway and returning to the garage, the creator lifts the hood of the car for inspection. Using a flashlight, he examines the power steering pump area. He confirms that the fluid leaking earlier is indeed power steering fluid, noting its color and consistency are not consistent with engine oil. He also points out a missing bracket or bolt on the power steering pump, which he states is an additional problem that needs to be addressed.

Goal: Visually inspect the car to confirm the source of the leak and other identified problems

Tools and materials

  • Custom-built car — The vehicle undergoing inspection
  • Flashlight — To illuminate the engine bay for inspection

how about that it does not like to go uh fast i can tell when you get up faster the driveline vibration increases and it does feel like it's slipping because it's just not connecting with the road like it's kind of hard to tell when it's slipping versus spinning but when you're going faster it doesn't really seem to be super super duper happy but going slow it'll skid around just fine so we're gonna go do that let's check and see if anything's leaking here it's leaking something i don't know what it is though that's either like oil or power steering fluid it's not warm so i don't think it's motor oil i think it's power steering oh well you know just wipe that on my pants and keep going i shouldn't do this but i'm going to do this i'm just going to pull out there and then come back well apparently it's got some fuel slash problems might not be as full as i thought it was because it just totally cut out on me for no reason oh it's done that to me before like whenever i would go screw around with this in the parking lot back in pennsylvania over the last couple years i've like you know slid around and had it just die i don't know why it's got to be fuel related might just not be enough in the tank i mean it's it took seven gallons and spit out but i don't i can't remember how the freaking baffling or anything works in there and i didn't try to put more in either so i don't know we'll i'll get it back inside before the freaking cops show up or something i didn't do that much but never know who was looking i feel like i'm in high school again i don't it's been a very long time since i've just busted it out in the middle of the road like that gotta swing it wide because this thing's 18 freaking feet long 197 see that's weird the transmission is only 120. i don't quite understand that but i don't know i'm not asking questions all i know is it doesn't work the way it's supposed to so there's something wrong with it see if we can figure out where this leak is coming from i strongly suspect it's power steering because the oil is just not hot see it's dripping down there again it just doesn't look like oiled engine oil to me then you can see the puddle it made from um where i was sitting idling for a really long time before it's all up in there gotta be power steering you see it's all shiny up behind the frame rail yeah i just saw it drip out of the back of the power steering pump well how about them apples i'm also missing a bracket or like a bolt on the bottom…
