Engine Mechanical problem
2000 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 160000 miles
at first car would not start when it did smelled like gas, flooded smell. went down raod and the car started ticking then wouldnt take any gas when pedal was pressed. tried pulling over to side and could hardly steer. started smoking like it was hot and the fluid leaked from front passenger corner area. there is possible smell of gas in the oil. oil was recently changed no problem there. radiator light has been on lately, we filled the coolant. light stayed on. someone stopped to help and he thought it maybe the inner timing belt. I hope I dont have a serious problem, just bought car about 1 1/2 months ago. thanks for your help
