Problem Reports

oil leak in 2 spots and car over heating.

I bought the car with under 62,000 miles, the owner said it had a small oil leak. I should have brought it to my Mechanic before I bought it. It's a money pit. The engine was real clean, The Stereo (Bose) didn't work only when you shut the car off. I only bought it for $2250.00 I put $900.00, They couldn't find the problem with the radio, the dashboard light is only half on. Then I finally get my bill down and the radiator exploded. $1500.00 job, They had to replace the valves, and when they did they found the short and fixed the Stereo. Car drives like cream puff! So, about two weeks ago I start smelling that burning smell again. So I bring it in, and the car is leaking oil now really bad. I said can I bring it back Monday, they said you can drive the car. I drove the car for 10 minutes, I went to drive it the next day to my daughters so I could borrow her car and the car started shaking and the check engine light came on. I drove the car one mile to my daughters then I had it towed to my Mechanic. The owner is the only one that looked at it, and then left. So I don't know whats going on. I'm freaking out. This car is killing me.

Leaks oil from valve covers. Hopefully nowhere else.
