never thanked you so thank you.

need some more advise pls.

what car batter should i be going for that is zero maintenance and has long life?

Either change the belt or pulley or your car. Its too old mate.

You or your mechanic just need to trace the leak and see where its leaking and fix it. It may be from one of hoses, clamps, cannister or brake booster.

Its most dangerous leak as it can catch fire in seconds, so i advise dont drive car until this is fixed.

my ford five hundred 2004 has got codes for p0109 p0191 p0171 what would be the first thing to check?
