I started the car and it started to shake and the engine was making a odd sound and some white smoke came out the tailpipe. shut off the car, checked under the hood and everything looked ok. I checked the oil dipstick and it was almost empty, I added 3 liters of oil in which brought it up to the first mark on the dipstick. I restarted the car and the car started fine. I drove the car around the block for 5 minutes and had no problems. Then I took the car out on the road and came to a stop. When the light changed and I started up I tried to apply the gas and the car would not go more then 10 miles per hour. The check engine light flashed and then went off again. So I parked the car and I don;t know what it all means, who I should take it to and what kind of charges to expect. When I had last driven the car two days before I had had no problems and no leakeage under the car.
