So this morning it was -20 degrees. Today i was in a hurry and for some reason thought i had started my car to warm up but hadn't, so long story short i ened up letting it idle for about a minute then slowly drove off to work. After the highway i noticed my low oil light was on, and a strong stench of burning. Well i couldn't inspect it, i was at work and had to go. Afterwork i pop the hood and everything looks a ok, so i drive home.
Same thing happens low oil light, and strong burning stench. Oil pressure is perfect, engine temp slowly climbing. I pull over pop the hood and smoke gushes out, i look under the hood and oil is dripping out sorta fast. Anti freeze is warm so i konw that it was doing its job....
I finally drove it home (no phone for a ride
) and parked it, opened the hood and more smoke..
What the hell happened? Did the antifreeze possibly freeze and crack something?
The last owner was a dink, and i have no idea when it was last changed, i was going to do it but never got to it
Thanks!
