My one week old Celica broke down, Could use some help to diagnose the problem Options

[ake126]

Hey,
I'm new to this forum and joined a couple days ago. Bad way to start it off but anyway. I just got this '95 Celica GT Hatchback and while I was driving back tonight, there was a loud boom near the passenger side of the engine. I pulled over and to my surprise, its leaking, it just kept pouring out. The leak was coming from near the middle of the car, maybe transmission fluid? Now I can't move the car, the clutch and transmission feel like their working, but the car won't move. The engine starts and idles but if you push it there's this horrible sound as if something is grinding. I pushed into a Midas nearby and left it there until the morning. So any ideas as to what went wrong or what Midas will tell me need repaired? I just want to know what happened to my baby!

Tow your car someplace else, after a diagnosis and recommendation like that, I wouldn't trust them to do the work anyway. They're gonna mess around inside of that car to "make sure" you have to bring it back.

TAKE IT SOMEPLACE ELSE. (and for that matter, if I were you, I'd call Midas corporate off their web site and make a complaint about that particular location. That's MAD shady)

Welcome to the site, sorry you're having problems with your car, but I'm sure you'll get it all sorted out. A broken axle isn't so bad.
