Engine Cooling problem 2002 Nissan Altima Automatic My car started smelling like something was burning every time I would take it on long drives, and just the other day white smoke or steam started coming out from under the hood. I stop driving it now and have notice a small podle of oil on the floor right under were the radiator is as well as under the hood were it is located. What do I have to do to fix this problem A.S.A.P? I really need my car to get around, please help me!

It sounds more like you have a coolant leak instead of an oil leak.

But, you still have a leak and need to figure out where it's coming from.

Then you can figure out the best option for fixing it.
