i was driving down the road and went to pass a car. i down shifted into forth and came close to redline. when i started slowing down my shifter was wobbling and it was idling very low and sounded like it was misfiring. i noticed oil running down from the back of the engine on the drivers side just above the oil filter. it looks like it is coming from the head on the back cylinder. also some oil looks like it came out the front of the intake manifold. it doesnt appear to be blowing much(if any) smoke. it starts right up and is drivable to to a repair shop or place to do it. is it a head gasket? Also, how hard it is to replace yourself. the engine is a 350 v8 with throttle body injection from a 1994 silverado. How expensive is it to have it repaired

I have a 79 corvet that has a 383 stroker in it. I recently found that the alternator was bad. I have replaced the alternator and a new dry cell battery. I have tested both the battery and the alternator and I know that they are good. Now my problem is that the alternator still will not charge the battery. If i start the car when i jump it, it works alright but once i remove the cables the voltage on the guage starts dropping. It just wont charge. Oh by the way i cant take it to a auto repair shop becuase no one will work on a car that is over 20 years old. Where do i begin to find this problem and fix it? Any advice?

It's a 2001 Honda Accord with V6 engine. The check engine light is on. About a month ago, TCS (traction control system) light came on, and I simply turned it off by turning off the switch near the driver side seat inside the car.
Today, I noticed that it came back on while driving and then few minutes afterwards the check engine light (malfunction indicator lamp came on). Even right now, it stays on when I turn on the ignition and strangely the engine is making that acceleration attempt noise by itself, as if you are pressing on the gas pedal abruptly, and the needle on the tachometer jumps up and down by few notches.
The card has about 75,000 miles and has been less than 3000 miles since the last oil change. Has not yet had timinb belt changed. The fuel cap on the fuel tank is not loose. I've re-tightened it.
What do all these symptoms sound like (mainly the malfunction indicator lamp on, and the engine making the acceleration nosie by itself). Advises will be appreciated.

Could the light be on because of something in the transmission?

My Chevy is loosing water, but I can not figure out where it is going. I checked the oil and I checked the tail pipes, nothing. I checked the hoses. I changed the thermastat, not leaking there. I don't see puddles under the truck. Does anyone have any ideas?

I've a 1994 SRS and recently the battery keeps getting drained every time the car is turned off. The battery is only a year old, and the alternator was tested and it's fine...we suspect it's a short. Is there something that commonly shorts out on this make and model car? I'd just like to know where to start checking...
