The dipstick seems a little sticky when i check the oil, the coolant has a leak somewhere, but the oil has never shown any sign of the "milkshake" look associated with coolant and oil mixing, so i dont think its that, should i flush the engine and whats the best stuff to use, im not using diesel fuel, and whats the best oil, ive been using castrol 5w or 10w-30, earlier i changed the oil and used castrol syntec blend 5w-30, which i will be using in my car next oil change

And can anything besides the clutch be damaged by driving with it? I have a 2003 Chevy S-10 with a 5 speed manual tranny. Apparently the throwout bearing is going bad causing some fun noises. I'm wondering how long I should expect to be able to drive with it and what am I risking by doing so?

Do you know what I mean? I'm driving on the outside lane and a car parked on the street ahead of me suddenly opens his door and I cannot dodge it because there are cars in the inside lanes.

I was curious about this. If you're driving up to a light that is green and a pedestrian decides to cross the street anyway, who has the right of way? Should they wait until it's red for the driver or not?

Curious what others think. I hate people that just go and expect you to stop.

I currently have a very light 2dr front wheel drive car and I slip and slide all over ice and snow; are there options outside of purchasing winter tires? I have read that putting weight in the trunk of a front wheel drive car is more danger than help (longer stopping distances, less control over back end, etc).

I heard throwing hot water on the windshield is not good, the windshield might crack due to physics. I sometimes use my windshield wipers and w/s fluid, but it's always clogged with frozen fluid. Any tips?

I priced an oil pan and gasket at a couple of my local auto parts stores at a range of anywhere from $125 to $150. A local garage owner tried to say the job would cost me $475.00 with parts and labour. I know labour costs run high in some places in the USA, but not in this area I'm talking about. I also realise this is a messy job most mechanics really wouldn't want to get into if they had the choice, but his quote and the price I found for the parts alone make up a big difference. We're talking almost $350 in labour the way I figure it, unless of course there are more parts needed that I didn't count. Then again, could this guy be trying to hose me? Thanks!
