About two weeks ago my oil light would flash on randomly during the first couple minutes of driving then go off. I checked my oil levels and noticed the oil cap was missing (I am not sure for how long). I bought a new oil cap and then took the car to get the oil changed. While, there the guy told me the car might have a leak (the bottom of the car was coated in oil) so I took it into a mechanic.
The mechanic cleaned the engine and the bottom of the car and tested for a leak. They said they couldn't find one. I picked up the car today and was driving on the freeway when the check engine light came on (it flashes).
The car then stated to shaken when I attempted to accelerate past 40 but it will go past 40. It just feels like it is struggling to do so. Hopefully this is not a huge problem. I am taking it back in to the mechanic soon but I am hoping you can give me an idea of what I am in for. Thank you.
