well..here's the scenario
1) thursday i come home with a friend and i see soem kind of liquid on my car, someone poured it on my car
2) i look at it and think it's just soda, so i walk away thinking that it would rain in the next few days and wash it of, or if that doesnt work out, i'll wash it on the weekend
3) gardeners tell me on saturday that there is oil leaking from my exhaust, but i didn't see it leaking on thursday
4) dad calls mechanic and explains scenario, and comes up with the conclusion that engine is done
so here i am thinking my options, of an engine swap or whatever options i have
so this weekend, i'm going to take my car to my mechanic and check it out
i have pictures, i'll get them up ASAP
