Thats a better way to put it, so thank you sir.
I bought the car with 9,456 miles. Right now it has 25,236 miles. So 15k give or take. I did just find out that one month after purchasing the car, Solom (the original owner) blew the transmission (not sure if it was his fault or not). He bought it in september and in october a Mitsu dealer in Jersey rebuilt 2nd gear and replaced a number of other things. Not sure if the clutch is included with that or not. I need to call that dealer to find out.
I really dont know if its leaking. I have a gravel driveway and the parking lot at work is gravel. I’ll throw a cardboard sheet under the car.
I also disconnected the battery in hopes of resetting the computer. Because, ultimately, this “hesitation” ONLY started after the vacuum leak happened.
