It's leaking from under the engine near the front of the car. It jus started leaking the last time I drove it! It hesitates in idle then when I drive for a little bit and put it in park it idles at very high rpm (1000)

I would use a dye in the oil and use an ultrviolet light to pinpoint the leak. It has no connection with other issues

what were the codes?

It also blows out smoke when I start it up. Like its leaking on the exhaust somewhere, or burning extra oil?

I ended up changing the crank seal gasket, coolant temp switch, valve cover gaskets, oil change with a couple filters, and the headlights! The car is running great, it costed me a 1100 but it was well worth it! I have 1 more question bud, my steering wheel buttons and my rear windshield wiper stopped working? Wt do you think it can be?

If you could repost with the last 7 of the VIN I will see if there is something I can do to assist.
