Avoid driving the vehicle as much as possible. If you are trying to diagnose the problem at home, you will need to 'rent' a scan tool from Auto Zone or other parts store which offers a loan-a-tool program. You basically buy the tool, use it, then return it for a full refund. They are very easy to use and the code offered may provide good clues to the source of the problem. It also helps to have a Haynes or Chilton's repair manual handy for reference (Haynes even offers a troubleshooting section) and diagnostic code look up. Auto Zone will check code meanings or even scan for free also. The problem could range from a blown gasket or oil pressure switch to something more serious. Be careful not to run too low on oil if you absolutely MUST drive it to a professional mechanic or shop (but a tow would be preferable).My car is leaking oil and is shaking a lot the check engine light is flashing what is wrong with it?
there is no way to tell you over the internet why or where the engine is leaking oil. a flashing check engine light means that the engine has a misfire severe enough to cause catalytic converter damage.
dont drive it. Tow it to the shop. Could be the head gasket (big item), could be ignition coil (not so bad). But do not drive. Tow it
Somebody put a turbo kit in it. There's no better way to trash an engine.
take it to get looked at cud b nothing cud b major no way to tell.....but if motor not fu@ked then get the leak fixed ASAP
