hey everyone, some bad news. i think my 120y has a blown head but just not too sure. heres what happened...
i went to melbourne for a few weeks and left the car with a friend who has been driving it for the past 6 months so i thought, yeah, she's capable and what not. hen i came home and everything is fine, but she said "aww the oil lights been on for a while" and i was like, alright, great i jump on the straight away BUT the next day i had to pick someone up from the air port and thought it would be fine.... it was for the trip there!
coming back we were just going 110 and the he engine over heated and just cut out on highway. so we rolled to a stop on the side of the road and just waited for it to cool down to make the quick dash home. on the last stretch it got to a point that it just died everytime we slowed down. but we got it home and a few days later i went to top up the oil. and i put ALOT in but still the oil lights on. and i checked it and nope, nothing! bad news right?
well now its blowing out white smoke and when i first topped the oil up it was splatting some out of the exhaust.
any ideas of whats wrong? and what am i look at to get it fixed?
i should add that i got this car at the start of the year and nothing has gone wrong since now(but i bet thats always teh way)
thanks in advance
