Do read a post past the first page before posting?
And my 2nd question, do you read a post past the first page before posting?

 

Nope, I don't. I looked for pictures though? And I did manage to explain what the "red fluid was" I know he said right but he was probaly meaning when he was looking at the front of the car. So buddy just get over it,

 

well as long as you are ok, the car can be fixed. but one quick thing. havent you read about the other people wrecking their evos in the snow. i mean thats why i havent headed back home to NY cause they keep calling for snow. rather be safe than sorry

 

sorry to hear it man. i almost went out last night for some donut ripping fun but i just hapen to read a thread in here about crashing the evo in the snow, so i decided not too. oh well, it could have been alot worse. if you need any stock parts let me know, i have a few things laying around and im local might be able to help you out. PM me if you ned anything

 

the red fluid is hydraulic fluid for the ACD there is a pump on the right side in the front of the engine bay with a resovoir on top. dont drive your car without that you wil mess up your tc and tranny bad. and if you broke that pump its a grand or two and will take months to get from japan unless you get one out of a wrecked evo i went through that i didn't have my car for three months it sucked

 

to many threads like this,i spun my evo out a couple of times i hate evo's in the snow,they suck

 

that red liquid is def. the ACD fluid... so dont drive your car now!
in any case, one day u will look back and laugh... for now, good thing u r Ok, so take care and dont be sad

 

My Evo is fine in the snow. I don't know why you would say the suck, unless you are driving on the stock Advans or something.

About the threadstarter...if the rad support is bent you have some serious front end damage.

 

i have the original Advans.... oh wow, what a drive, especially when the road ices up

 

Hey guys,
A couple of things. First of all thanks for all of your support. I just keep going down to my garage and looking at it. It just kills me. Someone mentioned that if my radiator support is bent I have some serious issues. For the record i was looking at it today and it is definitely bent. There are two brackets which connect the radiator to it and only one is able to connect to the radiator right now. Also the headlights also tie into it and on my driver side headlight the plastic tab broke most likely due to the shifting of that support. I cant believe all of the damage I keep stumbling upon for such a small accident. There really just wasn't a big impact. As for the ACD pump I got under the car to look for the spot of the leak. I followed the wet spots and noticed a possible break in a line right where it connects to the line which runs across the bottom of the car right under the radiator. I know that description of the line is long and its probably hard for you to understand but thats the best i can describe it...haha My next question is where do the acd pump fluids go? When i look under the tank i see 2 hoses. But those hoses are much bigger than the other hose which i think has the leak. Does that pump supply the fluid anywhere else?And for the record i dont think evos suck in the snow whatsoever. I have had a blast driving it in the snow and its very unfortunate that this had to occur.

 

the fluid goes to your transfer case because the acd is a differential that has diffrent settings the fluid makes it change. The evo tc works like a clutch and the pump supplies the hydraulic fluid. I bought an evo not knowing much about them it was used and the acd didn't work the guy told me it was because of suspension i come to find out he took the pump all the lines and electrical for the whole system even put an 03 tc in, all that stuff is real expensive be carefull with it

 

sorry to hear man keep us posted if you need any stock parts, etc.!

 

Is the line which i described the only line from the pump? I dont see why my actual pump would be broken as the pump was not hit. Assuming what I found is the only break in my ACD system could i potentially replace that line refill the reservoir and be on my way or is there any type of bleeding of something like that needed. Im just a little paranoid that the body shop is going to be driving the car thinking there is nothing wrong with it. The last thing i want to do is screw up my TC at 9000 miles.
