Hi-I really need your help. I have this 1998 altima and when I park in my drive way and looked behind the car there was a thin stream of oil about 1/2 thick and continuous. No oil runs on to the ground when the car is off and there are no funny sounds from the engine or lights on by the steering wheel. I live in freeing Minneapolis. Should I have it towed to the dealer? Should I try and sell it at a loss as is? There are no funny smells or steam or anything like that. Thanks so much-the Single Girl in Minneapolis
