wierd things going on with the car
the mechanic at bull currie drove my car aroung the block, it didnt make noise so he concludes i have an oil leak that is dripping onto my exaust and exploading or somthing, needless to say this guy is an idiot because i have never seen an oil stain under my car, or even in my driveway for that matter, both cars in the driveway are new. Also, i dont think driving 3 mins (no exaduration) down the road will get hot enough to expload oil that is on my exaust. So i guess im going to drive it and see if it does it again, if so i will take it to a differant dealership, probably earnie haire.
That is the dumbest thing I've heard. Oil exploding??
Seriously, I bet if you were to change your spark plugs it would go away. When one starts to foul, it will occasionally fail to ignite the charge and unburned fuel will pass into the exhaust and combust when other explosions exit the exhaust manifold.
Good luck.

ill check the spark plugs, how will it look if its messed up?
If it's detonating on one especially, it will be whitish.
Depending on how long they've been in there, it might be a good idea to replace all of them if you find one that looks abnormal. 2 bucks a pair at Wallyworld.

if it was the spark plug, and the gas was going through and making it to the exaust then exploading, would it just be a pop and smell for a second, or would i not be able to smell anything? the thing that gets me with that is, it didnt smell like gas, exaust, or anything, it was like radiator fluid or transmission fluid (not the best with my smells of differant fluids)
