it dosn't even so much as drip while its running, i sat there looking for like 10 mins or so, even had a family member rev it for a bit... went to start it eariler and it was blowing a brown smoke on and off, and its idle is pulseing now (goes from low to high).... i used to enjoy working on this car but damn.....

ohh, just wanted to say a thanks to ryan and the rest that have tried helping me with this car on and off.

poped my spark plugs out and there was some crap on them (looked like oily water, i had known some water got in while charging the battery a few nights ago (damn snowstorms)) and the rough idle's gone now.. my ac belt is very loose so i'm trying to tighten that up a bit, i always have problems with that :(... we'll see how it charges after that, i know its thrown it off a few times previous to now. (car still only has 113k on it, but was very poorly maintained before i got it...

p.s. at this point as its my only driving car atm (98 ford contour i got off the neighbors for $300 fried and i have no idea with that car... cant idle and stalls, tried camshaft position sensor already) i've decided to try and ignore the oil leak until i have it charging again, and then i can work on that in between work shifts.
