Have a cracked or busted head but also a bad oil leak??
Was driving down the highway going approx. 65 car overheated and starting smoking horribly, since then it over heats quickly and loses oil as soon as I put it in and drive......HELP. I just recently sold it as well, well am in the process, asked $400......they accepted.
