Pulled over to chage the DVD in my daughters portable player. Noticed a strange odor, turns out was burning oil. That and white smoke comming from the engine compartment. Not thick, but alarming all the same. Engine wasnt over heat, car hood was a normal temperature. What are the chances it can be easily repaired?

Check your oil level and check your coolant level. If the coolant is low, then fill it and presuure test the system to determine where it went. If it's real low on oil, find out where that went. Once you resolve these issues, see how the car runs then. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

But all the oil leaked onto the ground, i sat and watched the oil level get lower and lower on the dipstick until there was nothing left at all. It is leaking somwhere from the bottom of the engine. Any ideas? Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jun 27, 2009, 11:31 PM Post #4 of 4 (3358 views) Re: 2001 Chevy Tracker Sign In I'm not there to look at it, you are. Your going to have to inspect it to determine where the oil is leaking from. If it's leaking without the engine running, then about the only thing it can be is a hole in the oil pan, probably from hitting something. Don't assume the coolant is fine because it didn't overheat either. make sure your checking that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
