    She is giving you fits Jafopt. If you don't see the signs of fluid leaking out, odds are it was missed on the fill ups.

    Did the shop give you the alignment numbers? Did they check it for 4 corner tracking? You want to be sure it isnt going down the road sidetracking aka "Dog Tracking".

    He gave me the before and after report. Changed a couple numbers by a full degree I believe.
    As far as the fluids go, there was still 1.5Q of oil and a small amount of power steering fluid. It’s only got a total of 1000 miles on it. Maybe the first alignment mechanic I took it to emptied the power steering and forgot to refill it. But I have no explanation for the oil unless it’s burning a ton of it. And none of the mechanics have stated that when they drove it, it smelled or looked like it was burning copious amounts of oil.

    If it leaked or burned 3 quarts in 1000 miles, I think it would have noticeable signs. There would be a lot of blue smoke when running, or a lot of oil on the floor, or both.
