My roommate had some sleezy guy over so at 4am I went and parked next to campus so I could sleep. Well, my car has a leaky main rear seal like I was asking about on here. I was going to replace it TOMORROW because today is the last day of class and I was going home. Well I had the car idling, and boy did I fall asleep alright. I wouldnt have woken up except that the whole inside of the car was filled with smoke. Really nasty smoke like something burning, not like oil. I looked out the windshield. Smoke pouring from hood. Get out of car. Open hood. EVerything is smoking. Engine not runnning anymore. Huge river of oil leading from bottom of car. I didnt try to restart it, I know its not going to turn over. I hadnt topped the oil off since yesterday and I just drove 100 miles. I still have this weird headache from the smoke. I feel like I could pass out or something. Im glad I woke up, its probably some kind of plastic fumes or something. Anyway, I wonder how hard it is to put an '87 turbo engine into a '85 turbo? Damn.
