i brought the car to my mechanic, he said the clutch is just a timing issue, but the oil i smell if from the power sterring fluid, i forgot what the part is but he said it's 500-700 job. so i told him i'd pay 2,400 for it and said no, but thanks guys... i was kinda hopeing to just beat the motor to death and swap h22a1, but i don't wanna just pay $3,000 for a chassi in that sort of speak.
