A few weeks ago I was at work and when I came out it had flooded. I was in a rush so I decided to take on the water with everyone else and drove through it. I think I was driving to fast because my car stalled in the water, I sat for a few seconds and started the car up and drove out of the water. It was jerking and smoking. Then after a while had passed it just stopped and started driving normal. Weeks have passed and now the check engine light came on and one day I came out to something dripping from uder car by the two front tires. What could be the problem?

Hello,

First thing first: go to AutoZone and have them scan your car for trouble codes. It's free. When you have the code, post back with the codes and we'll start from there. As far as the leak, have you been able to determine exactly from where it was dripping? What's the color of the fluid?
