    Overheated?

    I drove pretty hard today and for about an hour solid, I have about 190,000 miles on my engine and I have a pretty bad oil leak. I turned my car off, walked to my door then I realized I was dripping something out of the front bumper, then I noticed it was bright green. Not too much came out, but it was a good amount. I think it was just because I was low on oil and I drove kind of hard, could this be bad for the long run or can I just drive like I usually do?

    Start by keeping your oil topped off. Also, where did the coolant come from?

        It came from my radiator I think.

        My oil leak is in the front and rear main, and no not that I have noticed.
        I just got it smogged/oilchange checkup about 3 weeks ago.

              you should always make a habit of looking at your gauges. fix the spot where the leak is coming from.

                  Lol that is quiet funny. No offence but those guys are dicks and are the ones who ruin it for the rest of us.

                  Anyways back to the topic How full was your radiator before driving im just wondering weather it got hot and the water expaned and over flowed? But your oil should not directly affect your water besides heating issues.

                    Check all of the hoses connected to the radiator, you might have forced some overflow out of the hoses if you were running hard, pressure could have built up. What's you're temp gauge showing?

                      Temp was alright, a bit higher than usual but nothing insane. I'll run it tomorrow and see what happens. Why is there so much hate towards mischief?

                        It's probably coming frome the lower corner of your radiator. Also check the relief tube at the top of the radiator, they tend to crack as well.

                            Mine blew coolant out of the throttle body coolant lines. Could be there.
