Well right now I'm just trying to figure out how to prevent it from overheating.
When I first noticed this problem, the second time I drove her after I got her back from the mechanic ( this was about 3 days ago ). Atleast once a day I'd start her up just to see if I could find a leak or something, and I'd check the dip stick and oil cap, and if oil was in the expansion tank and there was nothing. But just now I checked the dipstick - nothing , expansion tank - clear, oil cap and I found a little bit of white slime looking gunk on most of the oil.
When I started her up she was rough with a little tweet, twirp thing from the engine. That was also the first time I heard that.
So now I'm very depressed and without a car.
