Hi,

Can you give me a little more detail as to where it is coming from? Is it under the vehicle? Which side of the engine? Can you see where it is dripping? Can you get a picture of at least the general area?

It is on the right side towards the throttle area. It is dripping right in there and it looks like oil and coolant though. When I was driving it today there was a smell coming through the vents and when I got to where I was going which was a 30 minute drive. It sat for like 5 minutes it made a loud pop sound and started smoking white but wasn't real heavy but not lightly. Then drove it back home. It gets warm quick within 3 minutes of driving it is halfway between cold and hot.

Okay. Before we tackle the leak, go in and check your oil to see if it is milky. Check the coolant as well. If so, we have a larger issue then just a leak.

Well, when I get home here in a minute I'll send you a photo of where the liquid is and everything like you asked. Another thing is that before I change my spark plugs I didn't know it would have to get a new coil pack as well. There's also oil in my spark plugs again and there was before I changed them.

Okay, great. Let me know what you find but oil on the plugs could be valve stem seals but this is going to be an internal engine leak and not external.

Sounds like we may have a couple issues, so let's try to figure out the external leak and then we can start a new post for the oil on the plugs. We need to keep each post to one issue only because others that have a similar issue won't find it unless it is clearly titled. Let me know what you find and we can go from there. Thanks
