sigh, my bulletproof car isn't so bulletproof... jsut hoping its a cheap fix, i never have much spare cash

im a little worried about the oil under the car.. its covered the underside the engine a fair bit... and im guessing the smoke. might have been coming off the exhaust maybe?
I'm not the most mechanically minded here

anyways, any ideas what the probs could be..?

will post a followup in a couple days

Burst tranny line possibly. They run right over the exhaust on the driver side and if it burst then you'd lose your tranny and get some smoke and oil around for sure. Keep us informed when you find out what it was.
