    Not going to argue this for the 1,000 time. Drivers DO NOT get CSA points, only companies do.

    I defy anyone to show me their CSA points.

    How about proving drivers don't get points...

    Wow.. I ask drivers every day how CSA effects them.. and like here.. most apparently have no darned idea.. 1. there are seven categories in CSA.. not ALL of them have something to do with maintenance.. There are NO WARNINGS as it relates to CSA.. if you get pulled over for speeding and then inspected, the CSA will show a speeding violation AND whatever the officer discovers during said inspection.. the driver scores are TRIPLED for the first three months ,, so if you get a violation or violations.. the driver's "score" is VERY large.. for that 6 month period.. then the score drops to double and the last two years, the score is whatever the violations were.. Anyone who says that CSA doesn't effect drivers is just ill-informed

    Also.. if you have been inspected OR gotten a citation, you have a CSA score.

    Am afraid I don't get what you are trying to advise me to do! Would you mind being more specific??

    What would you guys do??

    Now am wondering if I should have not added the CSA points part (seems everyone is more concentrated in those than the actual issue and question)


    btw the points can effect carrier and driver.

    I would tell who ever I am coming directly to terminal to get it repaired. Not routed to a terminal.

    How far is A terminal from you? My best plan would be: Keep the reservoir full and head directly there no matter what anyone says.. Send a message that this is exactly what you are going to do. Could you get a violation? Yeah.. is it likely? Not really.. is everything worse getting repairs on the road? YES..

    Would adding regular motor oil do any bad to the system??

    Am just concerned about a bad inspection and citations and all that stuff that would make my record look bad at some point in time..

    What's recommended to do to try to at least get it to slow the leak[​IMG]

    On this pic I had just stopped. The pic my phone failed to take before this one is the one that shows the puddle of fluid...

    The hardes part is when coming to make a turn or when turning the wheel in general. The humming sound is soo strong you would'nt believe it. Even when shifting at take off you can sort of hear the humming sync with the rpm sounds.

    The wheel is becoming harder to turn. Now using both hands to be able to make them turns...
