My temp on the car was really high *100 degrees*.. i looked under the car and water was dripping *it didnt smell like gas or oil* and so i look under the hood and there is water collected on the bottom like under my engine kinda... well anyway i leave it alone for a while.. and i go back to it and turn the heat on all the way and drive home *the temp went to 86 * *normally its at 82 or so*... and it stopped dripping while i was driving but when im parked it drips..

I just purchased this Jeep for my son. How smooth should the shifting between 1st and 2nd be? It seems to take a little long to shift from 1st to 2nd, but the shifting is smooth.

It's leaking....I've already began engine breakdown, don't think I have to pull the crank pulley or bottom half. My timing belts fine.
Can't I just slip it off with out removing the lower half. Seems to me I should be able to get the water pump off without total break down of the entire front section From what I've seen so far it looks like all I have to do is remove the top end of the timing belt on each head - then I'm at the water pump. Why would I need to go any further on the lower half ? As I say the belts fine, why not leave it attached to the lower half do the water pump replacement - re-assemble and be done ???

My dealer wants to charge me $60 to find out why the light is on, when I know it's probably the Oxygen Sensor. This time I want to do it myself, than have the dealer do it. Should I buy the oxygen sensor at a retail store or go to a Nissan parts place? how much do they run. is it easy to install? i'm going to ask a friend to install it as he knows stuff about cars. THANKS! Denise

This morning I went to apply my brakes and the whole car just slammer forward. When I applied my brakes, I felt some resistance, then a felt and heard a pop, like two pieces of metal slamming together, followed by a near wip lash experience. All I have to do is barely touch the brakes and the car slams forward. It doesn't seem to have this problem in reverse. It's touchy but not as bad. What the hell is going on and how much is this going to cost me? Thanks guys.

I've noticed lately my car's steering as been stiff. It only happens after the car has had time to warm up. When I start the car and start going after I turn it on, the steering is really smooth and does not take much effort, after mabye 15 minutes of driving, I find the steering becomes more stiff. Whats the problem? What can I do to fix it? My car is fairly new (2003). The power steering fluid is at the proper level too. Any links that talk about the problem?

It is the driver's side. Also, it's a two-door. Is there a way I can fix it myself or does it need to go to the professionals?

I have a 2003 Ford Focus that was overheating, and I found out that it was over heating because I had a crack in the coolant resorvoir. So, I replaced the coolant resorvoir and changed the sparks and wires. AND NOW, there is water in my engine oil. What do you suggest I do? I'm VERY, VERY frustrated!!!
